This shoe is the one I am most excited to run in. I can run in it for a comfortable 6-12 miles, pick it up for a tempo workout, and use it to run fast quarters. I keep coming back to this one.

This shoe is cushioned and narrow. I sized up a half a size and this made for a very comfortable ride. It's cushioned and responsive.
