Blog · The Running Club – Paolo Corsini · summarized

Positive

Scores 8.5: 'a winning shoe doesn't change'. The new collar fixes the X2's heel abrasion. After 160 km there's no abnormal wear, and lighter runners could see 800 km. Good value (7.5).

Blog · WearTesters – Drew Whitcomb, Annie Keris · summarized

Positive

A lively, bouncy midsole that handles double-digit long runs with pace work. One tester loved it at every pace from 5K to marathon. The outsole and upper are durable and the upper is breathable. The tongue is floppy and almost unattached, and the fit is narrow-ish.
