Of the 8 reviews with a clear verdict, 50% are positive, 25% mixed and 25% negative. The praise mentioned most is responsive. The most common complaint is unstable.
The complaints reviewers mention most: unstable (4 reviews). For example: Under 120 g and feels like nothing, with soft foam and surprisingly durable thin rubber after a full marathon. But it was wobbly even at 3:35/km, and he cramped after 20 km at Kobe. As he faded, the softness turned into bouncing up rather than forward, so for him it's a half-marathon-and-under shoe.
