MixedA heavier runner loves the SC Trainer v2 but at almost 300 km the outsole shows wear and it bottoms out late in long runs; the laces are also short.

MixedAbout 512 km over four and a half months, mostly easy recovery runs and long runs. They liked the comfort, grip and energy return until around 350 km, when the energy return began to fade. By 512 km the outsole tread was practically gone, the exposed foam was shredded, a rock-hard flat spot had formed under the forefoot, and they suspect the carbon plate cracked, so they retired the pair. The upper stayed comfortable and locked down well, but they would not recommend it unless you won't be racking up high mileage.
