    This shoe fit like a glove the first time I put it on. I was able to run comfortably in them immediately without having to break them in, at all. I liked them so much I bought a second pair immediately. I used to use these only for speedwork and training, but now they are my trainers.

    A lightweight road shoe which I use for longer runs and slowish repitition sessions on road and trails. I have found it to give good support to my feet.

    I have had 3-4 pairs of this shoe and have loved each of them. I used to use strictly Ravennas but the alterations recently done turned me off to them.

    I was fitted for my first pair of Pure Cadence by my local running store. After I wore them out with no complaints, a different store put me into a pair of Asics. Within my first 10 miles in those, I developed IT band issues. Switching back to Pure Cadence was all it took to alleviate my problems! The shoe fits like a glove, snug without being constricting. There is enough padding for comfort on a long run, without being overly thick and heavy (which for me, promotes a heel strike).

    Lightweight, comfortable and durable. I had been running in the mizuno elixir for several years and really liked it, but the pure cadence has converted me. I prefer the heel drop, less motion control and weight that the pure cadence provides when compared to the elixir.

    Nice, light, stability trainer but doesn't last as long as I would hope in terms of cushioning.

    Fine shoe, feels nice and plush, though is a bit soft which hurts responsiveness.

    The shoe has been an absolutely fantastic training shoe. It stays together pretty well over decent miles and is usually pretty solid for a season's worth of training.
