I want to buy a pair of zoom marathoners(mainly because they're prettty cheap) for my first marathon in chicago. Are these good flats? Can I use these for other distances?
What's the difference between marathon flats and regular flats besides support?
those are great flats for longer road races up to a marathon... more cushion than a "regular flat"
I like mine (though I'm a heavier runner and have to limit them to to 10k or shorter distances). A typical Letsrunner build and foot-strike should have fewer problems using them for 20+ k distances.
However, it seems to be a discontinued model and I haven't been able to get them in my size (US 10.5) anymore, despite calling/visiting my metro running stores and scouring online.
FWIW-- they tend to run small and you'd probably need a half-size larger than "normal" shoe size.
Looks like it's no more? Does Nike seriously only have the stupid Lunar Racer 2 and maybe the Streak 3 in their lineup now?
Streak XC, Katana, and Mayfly as well.

Thanks for the replies everyone. I was just concerned if they would have an adverse effect on my 5k road races this summer.
