Really durable cushioned shoes

Overall

They are one of the best looking shoes I have worn but I have felt some heel pain when running in them but other than that they work for all paces and even track workouts.

Good for long distance

Overall

Very comfortable for long distance. Wouldn’t recommend for anything less than a 800 though. Very durable, great material. I dont love the laces though and the tongue has a weird feel.
