Best looking trainer I've ever run in. It's a little pricey, but the durability has been great so maybe worth the extra money.

Overall
I love The Elliot Runner. As soon as I switched from my Under Armor Flow running shoes, I PR’d in my 10k in the next three consecutive runs and set a new PR in my 5k which I’m struggling to beat. The Elliot Runner is 100% my style and it’s comfortable - which is a rare combination for me. Despite its unassuming look, it’s extremely effective at keeping traction, cushioning running on roads or paved trails, and keeping my feet warm in the cold but not too hot. I avoid using this shoe during rougher routes or in rain because I want to keep it in good condition - but it is a strong shoe and the design is both durable where needed and flexible where needed. I will say that it is not a top tier shoe you’ll find Olympic runners training in, but it is by far the best shoe I’ve ever purchased! I’m getting a second pair in the spring next year.

Really am enjoying my runs in this shoe. I like a firm ride and this shoe delivers. The shoe looks fantastic but don't let the good looks fool you, this is an excellent running shoe.

Overall
The Eliot is a good choice for every day runs. It's in the middle in terms of most ways - lightness, cushioning, stability. Works great for me as the shoe at the top of my rotation.
For me (145 lbs) it has just the right cushion and heel-toe roll. Probably too heavy for any fast running though.
