"A popular shoe, but a fail for this flat-footed Clyde."Spleen

(4)

Quality of Construction

solid stitching and construction. Mesh over instep seems a little frail.

(3)

Fit

Size 13 a bit big, but 12 was def. too small. Very wide toe box.

(2)

Comfort

Fine for short distances, but guaranteed blistering for 5+ miles. I'm flat footed and blistered regularly where my arch ought to be.

(3)

Adjustability

Not much to adjust other than laces or insole.

(2)

Durability

For a shoe designed especially for pronators and Clydes, mine started to fail at 150 miles and were worthless at 200.

(2)

Value

Most expensive shoe I found.

(3)

Appearance

meh

Strengths

Good motion control, soft underfoot.

Weakness

Blistering in archs for a flat-footed runner, quite heavy, wore out quickly.
