NegativeDefinitely not a world-beating super shoe, and not an easy-run shoe. The rocker propels you but forces you onto your toes, and it fits small (his toes were wrecked after a workout; size up). Too much shoe for him to race in, but a solid, aggressive workout tool.

PositiveComes alive when you pick up the pace: the rocker propels you forward and toe-offs feel effortless. The jacquard mesh dried within minutes after a snow-melt splash. The narrower heel and midfoot cost some of v1's stability, so it's not for wide feet, heavier runners or those with stability needs.
