Who has run in the Atreyu Artist? How does it feel? Responsive? I'm about to pre-order a pair.
I ran in the artist on Wednesday. 2 up, switched to the artist, 1 easy tempo @ 5:50 + aussie 200s (200 @ 34/200 @ 48-50 for 3 miles).
My take:
* Very light
* Not a bouncy feeling at all
* Very comfortable with a wide toe box and a nice upper. Feels well cushioned for weight.
* Sloppy heel, a lot of slippage
Overall, the track probably wasn't the best test but this is a good shoe for longer sub-threshold to threshold efforts in my opinion. Probably wouldn't take it much faster than that nor would I reach for it on race day.
