What an amazing running shoe. I trained for and ran 2 marathons in the last 45 days with them. Amazing. Light, minimalistic enough so you can feel the road, good stability, and just enough cushioning to keep you comfortable in 20+ miles runs. Highly recommend to any runner. The only thing I didn't like as much were the shoe strings. They are not elastic at all, so tend to untie if you are not careful. I still wouldn't change my 5 star rating because of it.

Love this shoe! I'm a nurse so these shoes have seen many miles. I get a lot of compliments. I really only have one qualm; the outer part of the toe box is too narrow for my feet, which hurts my fourth and last toes. Otherwise, perfect amount of cushion and arch support.

Love this shoe! And so do the runners around me. They are comfortable and light but based on other reviews I did go larger and that was the right move.

My husband really likes tennis shoes that draw some attention. He has an awesome pair of retro Adidas that were starting to wear out, so when I saw these I had to buy them for him and he LOVES them. He said they are super lightweight and very comfortable. He gets a lot of compliments on them, too.

These are great! They are light, but more supportive than some racing shoes. And they are very bright. The sizing is tricky because of the unisex sizing. I usually wear an 8½ in Brooks, but had to get these in a women's 9/men's 7½.

I love these shoes! I am an avid runner 30 to 40 miles a week. They are light and very supportive shoes. I have been threw alot of shoes and these are the best I have had. I am buying more again which I never do. So if you are thinking about it, do it as it is well worth it and very affordable for the qualities of the shoe. By the size is the same as any others I have bought. Happy running

These are great shoes for training or racing in. They are lightweight, but they provide the support necessary. I love these shoes and the color scheme. I hope the next model has a cool color scheme as well.

I waited to write this review until I put a few miles in this pair. I enjoy the minimal support of these shoes. I have found them to be highly breathable, see toe mesh and sides. I ran in the rain and they dried quickly once the rain stopped. Major plus, they look sweet! However, on my longer runs, 8+, I find that I need a little more support and toe room, thus I will be switching to my Asics.

Super lightweight, very showy, and get tons of compliments. They are very cool with mesh on top. I just use them for the gym and use more stable, durable ones for my trail running. But for short distance, track, gym, and street running they are great.

Lightweight and very comfortable. This is a great shoe for warm/hot weather. Order a half size larger than you do for dress shoes. If you don't like bright, don't go with this one.
