5/5
Overall
I took a chance a year ago and bought these for $45 from Amazon. I ran almost 700 miles in them and they still look great, but it was time for new shoes by then. I bought another pair of Axon 2 and ran 600+ miles onthem. The shoe has the right amount of drop (4mm) and is cushioned enough to save your legs.

The Saucony Axon2 is very comfortable for shorter faster runs and looks good, too. My only wish would be for a more durable heel rubber.

Overall
I run about 15-20 miles a week. The Axon 2 is a great easy run shoe and is very comfortable to wear.
The shoe was instantly comfortable, quite a pronounced rocker feel but really pushes you on, comfortable but not overly cushioned.
The only downside is that it isn't a fast shoe. However, for $75 it is good for what it is.
