PositiveA larger runner with years of shoe reviewing tested these on tempo runs and 10-15 mile efforts, about 68 miles in. They liked the light, simple feel and the snappy, responsive midsole, which is temperature sensitive. They disliked the thin, stretchy laces that let the tongue slide, the narrow fit, early wear in the midsole and insole, and the price. A solid try for fast training days, less suited to slow long plods.
