"I've run on Mizuno Wave Riders and Brooks Adrenaline GTS shoes. I thought this would be a nice fit (more support than Wave Riders yet lighter than the Adrenaline GTS. However, It has a little too much arch support. I still wear them for foul weather but prefer my newer Brooks Adrenaline GTS7's."mbmoran2

Quality of Construction

Noticed the logo on outer seems to be too big, causing the main upper to buckle.

(4)

Fit

A bit wide on the mid foot. Heel and toe box are proportioned nicely.

(4)

Comfort

Good comfort out of the box. A little too much arch support for me. They seem to be a little too rigid and less than optimal cushioning. Just not a perfect fit for me. I also got some toe blisters on a 20-mile run.

(5)

Durability

Good shape after 300 miles of mostly road running in the fall and winter months.

(4)

Value

About what I'd pay for a performance running shoe.

(3)

Appearance

Average looking shoe

(3)

Performance

Seems to be a little too much support as I get outer foot pain on high mileage or intensity runs.

Strengths

Good comfort out of the box

Weakness

Support, rigidity, cushioning don't seem right for me.
