Comfortable, light, breathable, but fell apart at 175 miles; poor value at full price.

Great all-day wear and comfort for gym use, but not a great running shoe.
YouTube comment on REIOwner
Decent everyday gym shoe for a beginner, but not for long runs; speedboard feels very firm.

Asks whether these are comfortable for daily non-running use; no answer given.

Returned them; springy sections poked into feet, needed thicker padding.

Says it is a stability shoe with a guide rail like Brooks; firmer foam is expected.
