perfection improved
By robert ness
my first run in version (2) and this is a home run. a improved upper with the same lower. I love this design and my feet are happy, happy. they are my goto marathon shoe and daily trainer. I run (250 mpm) and they are sturdy. mldfoot or forefoot runners this is the shoe. I am 6'4" and weigh 201. clydsdale running like a gazelle. I will order another Color as soon asthey become available for rotation. my original pair has 500 plus miles and will wear for next marathon.

The best shoe I've ever run in
By Mike McD
First off, I am a high school track and cross-country runner and run all the time. When I went to buy these shoes, my feet would pronate slightly and I was needing a pair of fast, light shoes for track season and these have worked better than I could have ever imagined. First off, the upper is unique in that it's stiffer and less like a fabric than other shoes I've run in, keeping my feet in place during a run. The band on the side works with the upper mesh in "hugging" my feet and keeping them in place. The lower foam is perfect. When walking, it feels soft and wonderfully comfortable. When running, though, it becomes more firm and corrects the over pronation of the feet. These shoes have a very low-to-the-ground, fast feel and have also been great for long runs, not just tempo runs and speed work. On the run, it quickly becomes obvious that the sweet spot of this shoe is the mid to forefoot and does really encourage striking in these areas, strengthening legs yet continuing to give plenty of support. All in all, this shoe is for people who are okay with a more transitional shoe and who are wanting to work up milage and speed.

good shoe
By Antonio Ralph Piraino
as expected. lightweight and good shoe. Tried suing it in the winter time and the colling aspect that's probably god for summer was a little too cool for winter.
