    I've been exclusively running in this shoe for the past year and half. I've gone through 3 pairs in that time and it's held up really well through several marathons and year-round training. This is primarily on roads (concrete/asphalt). I will likely keep buying this pair until they stop making them!

    Fits like a slipper, I use it for races and tempo / intervals, but could use it up to half marathon easy.

    It's a brilliant shoe. Light, well-cushioned. It replaced the discontinued Asics Gel-Tarther as my primary shoe. It had previously been my workout and half marathon shoe.

    I love this shoe. It makes me feel fast because it is so light. It is flexible but enough support so I don't feel every rock. I've used it for everything from a 400 to a HM.

    Got 3 pair. Oldest has 350+ miles, the other two less than 300 each. Been discontinued

    for quite a while. So bad...so sad.
