MixedAbout 700 km, mostly easy road and park running, plus a muddy forest run and a rocky trail race. Fine for easy runs up to around 15 km, but faster running left their feet tired, a 10-mile road race brought a black toe, and on rocky, wet trail they felt every rock. The shoe still looks almost undamaged after 700 km. Suits easy everyday runs on even paths, not speed work or technical trail.
