4/5

Overall

I have run in these 3 pairs of these shoes over the last 15 months and do not have any complaints. I had one major injury during the last year (a torn hamstring) but I do not believe that it was related to the shoes, and I was not even wearing them when the injury occurred.

Overall

It's a little clunky, but I also have orthotics in there. I like the comfort but it does not feel as athletic as my last shoe, the Brooks Ravenna.

Best shoe I've run in. I love the lightweight and 8mm drop. I run short, long and speed workouts in them. I've been running in a version of the guides for about 3 years.

Love it. Perfect blend of cushion/responsiveness. I'm terribly disappointed that they made the 7s so much more firm.
