"Great value and great shoe. I will definitely be getting another one when it wears out and I see myself using this as one of my main training/racing shoes. I was running in a Progrid Hurricane and didn't have an issue putting this shoe in my rotation (I rotate between 3-4 pairs of running shoes). I've realized that I don't need as much support as the model that was originally recommended to me by local shoe store. This is currently my go-to shoe and I use it for most of my runs, especially for the long runs. I will be buying another pair in about a month when I get to 200 miles."m2tx

Quality of Construction

Very good materials. Typically great Saucony quality.

(5)

Fit

Fits close to my other shoes. I like the way the shoe fits in the toebox.

(4)

Comfort

Comfort is ok for minimalist shoe. Definitely not as comfy as the sockliner in my Progrid Hurricanes but those are also very heavy

(3)

Durability

After about 150 miles, sole still seems to be wearing ok. I can see this shoe easily getting to 200-250 miles which is when I typically replace a shoe (or put it in my gym-workout-rotation)

(4)

Value

With club's discount code, I paid less than $70 for this shipped. Definitely a great value!

(3)

Appearance

The bright white looks great with the bright yellow sole. I wish the shoe came in the Viz Orange color though.

(5)

Performance

This is my first shoe with only a 4mm drop (standard shoes are at 10mm) and I like the way it feels when racing. My biggest issue with the shoe is that during a wet race, the insole tends to slide around and it is not a good shoe for a wet triathlon where you have to wear it quickly. The insole will bunch up in front when putting it on quickly at T2.

Strengths

Light and 4mm drop profile encourages forefoot/midfoot strike and faster turn over. I don't see a problem using this shoe for a half-marathon.

Weakness

When wet, the insole will move around. Not a good shoe (without modifications to secure insole) for T2 during triathlons.
