Great shoe for the marathon!

4/5

Overall

I love these for the marathon and long distance training! They are like running on clouds! I wish the price point was a little lower, but for the past four years it has been worth it to me. *They run small. Like Saucony does, I suppose.

Overall

I am a former D1 runner who had 3 tibia stress fractures prior to buying these shoes. I love them! Unfortunately they do need replaced more than my asics used to, but I think they are worth it!
