[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] These are by far the best shoes I’ve run in given I’m a forefoot striker. If you are a forefoot strike, you need to at least try these. I’m using them as trainers and racers. I’m 6ft 200lbs, I’ve run sub 3H marathons.

those shoes give excellent perforce but once you reach around 200 miles shoes dies, i will suggest making them with a better durability for the price that we pay.
So squeaky!

Gorgeous shoe. But insanely squeaky to walk in. It’s ridiculous.
