Pros

Reviewers use it for easy miles and faster efforts alike, several getting about 500 miles per pair.
Value draws 4.6 out of 5, the highest mark of any dimension, with reviewers naming sale prices.
Cushioned but light at 9.2 oz on a 35mm heel stack.

Cons

Cushioning and durability each draw 4.2 out of 5, the lowest marks of any dimension, and reviewers doubt the mostly foam outsole over the long run.
One reviewer calls the foam way too stiff and bricky for running, comfortable only for walking.
The Ride 16 after it scores 74 on thirty-one reviews against its 66.

4/5

Overall

When I was running in this shoe, I was doing about 60 miles per week. About 40-50 of them in the Rides. They feel good. Soft enough but not like you're sinking. No hot spots, and no protruding sections in the midfoot. Durability is just okay, pushing past 400 miles was a little challenging.
