I love these shoes for speed work. The first time I ran a 5K in these I beat my personal best by a few minutes. Very impressive. It feels like you are running effortlessly - like little clouds are floating your feet back into the air for the next stride! However, I have tried these on longer distances and they just don’t work for me. I’m an over pronator and need more stability, and I kind of had a feeling these wouldn’t work for that going into buying them. I do not regret buying them though, I love how fast they make me feel for shorter distances! But if you over pronate and are thinking these shoes will be good for marathon training, I might have a backup shoe just in case. I sized up a half size in these and am glad I did, they are still a little tight in the toe box.

Great for speed work, maybe not the most stable for over pronators

Sole is damaged in 1 half marathon.

I used it for 1 half marathon and the soles are damaged already.
Great comfort, squeaky shoe
mrakira415 - 20 Aug 2025
These are super comfortable and I love the look. The only reason I took off one star is because they are noisy running shoes. I get a little squeak I think from the zoom air bag in the front of the shoe. I had the same issue with my 2023 Nike Tempos I was replacing with these. I love the upper, but I think I’m going to skip the air bag on my next running shoe.
