Pros

  • That reviewer needed several runs to get used to the cushioning and initially wanted more support.

Very good shoe, the second best I have ever had

4/5

Overall

Well, this was on discount since it was a previous model so I did try it out at the store and felt good. 

 Cushioning was a bit different than what I was used to so it got a while for me to get accustomed to that - sometimes I felt that I wanted more support. After a few runs though, this feeling went away.

I really like this shoe, it keeps my feet and pace steady, has a nice bounce and looks sturdy. Still summer though so I am not sure what happens when fall comes and the rains start.
