It is a great shoe, but I wish it had a much wider toe box like Altra shoe line. It would also be nice to have a seamless, breathable mesh upper to make the shoe lighter in weight. Another than that, the shoe is perfect.

Started out light and cushiony but got beat down very quickly, now it feels like i have orthotics strapped to my feet.

On my third pair. I love it. I use it in everything from long runs to speed work. I even ran a marathon last fall in the shoe.

The shoe has a good concept but I have foot problems in my right arch with this shoe. It is quite tight fitting and thus does not take orthotics very well so I could not continue running in it.
