I enjoyed the comfort of the shoe from day one. It is really soft, decently light and lasts a fair amount of miles. Not great for speed work but awesome for easy days and long runs.

I love the support this show offers, as I have weak ankles and knees. The shoe is kinda heavy and ugly, I have not run a race in them yet so I don't know how they affect my pace in a race setting.
