5/5

Overall

It`s my first pair, and I am pleased. There was absolutely no "Break-in" period. Extremely light and I know they boast of the springs but they really are springy. My other shoe is a Saucony Hurricane. I`ve been running/training in Hurricanes for 10 -15 years. For two reasons, comfort/fit and durability I can`t really talk about durability of this shoe, becasue I`ve only been running in them for two weeks, but they are the most comfortable shoe I`ve worn in a very long time.
