I've had 5 pair. They are very light but also durable. I'm currently using a new pair just for Sunday long runs. I reccommend them along with the Nike Elite. I used to run in heavy trainers but the Skylon got me hooked on lightweight trainers. Now all of my regular running is done in light shoes. Also, @ Eastbay, the Nike Air Streak Ekiden is on sale for $19.99! Great shoe for any race distance as well as track workouts.

They're $34.95 at footaction.com, in a lot of sizes including mine. I'm happy with the Span Triax's I'm using now and also like the NB 830 series, and wondered how these compare. I'm fairly large for distance running - 6'0", 178lbs - but I don't seem to crush shoes very quickly. Thanks for any insights you can offer.
