"If you're looking for zero drop and want to run on roads these are great. If you're going from a more traditional shoe it may take some time for your calves to get used to running in them. My last shoe was the Saucony Kinvara, which have a minimal heel raise and it only took a couple of runs to get comfortable."jmcconne

Quality of Construction

They seem to be made really well. Only had a month with them though, so didn't want to put a number higher than a 4.

(5)

Fit

The sizes were the same I wear for my Saucony Kinvara's and my Brooke's. The room in the toe box is one of the reasons I purchased these and like them so much. It looks goofy, but allowing your toes to splay on impact feels great.

(4)

Comfort

These have more padding than something with a Vibram sole, and have felt good for my runs which have gone up to 7 miles.

(4)

Durability

Seems like these are really solid, but only had them for one month.

Strengths

More padding than a Vibram type sole, which makes it great for running on roads and still allows you to do the zero drop.

Weakness

Not the best looking shoes.
