3/5

Overall

Bought these on special for £40 with thoughts of using them in a marathon. Was training in Saucony Mirage 4s which I liked (just ordered second pair). I found these a lot narrower than the Mirages and quite uncomfortable on longer runs >10miles. Still use them for tempo runs and workouts but haven't considered using them for long runs or in the target marathon. Probably due to the width issue, lots of the mesh on the inside and outside near the join with the outsole torn after

Overall

Very comfortable shoe for workouts-- healthy balance of stability and cushion, but still lightweight and flexible. Shoes started tearing along inner part of the shoe (at the connection of the sole and fabric) after only ~100 miles. Disappointing, but they still work. Just not sure how much longer they'll last.

Minimalist trainer. She is perfectly designed for my feet. Tight heel, very wide toe box. If you run with a forefoot or mid-foot strike, this shoe is great.

Overall

Good fit, snappy, durable carbon rubber outsole that doesn't immediately succumb to my supinating feet. Problem with durability of upper though, as it tends to rip need the arch after 100-150 miles, though the sole is still good.
