NegativeAfter a couple of runs they do not recommend the Cloudboom Echo 3, finding other plated shoes at a similar price better. They found the forefoot generous but the midfoot very narrow.

Of the 11 reviews with a clear verdict, 64% are positive, 9% mixed and 27% negative. The praise mentioned most is fast. The most common complaint is wears out fast.
The complaints reviewers mention most: wears out fast (2 reviews) and narrow fit (1 review). For example: She likes the ride for shorter efforts. She likes it, but it's too firm for her beyond 15 miles. After 50 miles the outsole showed significant wear, so she doubts it will last 100. At $289 it's no better than other carbon racers: you pay for the name.
