    While this may not be the fastest shoe for the price, cushioning and comfort it wirks great for tempo runs or just long slow runs

    I really like the wide toe box coupled with a snug fitting heel. The cushioning is very good, but could be better for large runners. (I'm over 200 lbs) The shoe has held up very well, and looks good, too.

    I have used all three versions and did not like Version 1, no real cushion and felt clunky. Then when #2 came out I found I liked it for all my runs and it had a great fit for my low volume foot and still with a great amount of room in the toe box. So when #3 came out I was not sure what to expect as so many shoes were coming out wider but #3 kept the low volume so mid-foot locks in and great toe room. All that and cushioning was better than #2. May not be the lightest shoe or fastest but have fund is a great everyday show for all my runs.
