Overall

These shoes are really great as an entry level shoe or for Half/Full Marathon racing. Basically, they lack the forefoot stiffness for running really fast, but with the Mstrike rocker technology and a weight under 7 oz they are super comfortable running at Threshold pace or slower. Supremely comfortable upper, basically the good stuff about the Nike Free at a lower price and a better ride. That being said the lack traction for trails and aren't the most durable but I'd say are equally durable to a Kinvara (around 300-400 miles). Overall one of the most comfortable shoes I have ever put on.
