"Overall a solid racing shoe. Lighter than a normal trainer, but enough support for a half marathon."stuart_little_9

Quality of Construction

I have used Brooks now for 2 years and am very happy with the quality. 150km run in these so far and no issues whatsoever.

(5)

Fit

Fits well, same size as my other Brooks shoes.

(5)

Comfort

Very comfortable. Did an Olympic tri 10k without socks - no issues. Did use Bodyglide to lube them up however. I have also done a HIM and a stand alone half marathon (both with socks) and again no blisters or sore feet.

(0)

Adjustability

Took out normal laces and put in elastic laces - no issues.

(5)

Durability

So far 150km run. Running shop person said they would last up to 300km.

(5)

Value

Very good value I feel.

(5)

Appearance

White/red/black. Nothing over the top.

Strengths

Quite light, but not the lightest out there. Not as minimalist as you could go, but I opted for a little extra support due to doing a half mara/half iron.

Weakness

None that come to mind.
