Strengths: Excellent fit as ever. Hard wearing, mine are just losing it now but I've been using them as main shoes for 5 months and there was a marathon in there so probably about 600 miles
Weaknesses: Could use more cushioning.
Overall: 765s might have been a touch better (though maybe heavier) but suit me fine
Strengths: They are very strong, I've done more than 300 miles in them already and theres not much wear on either the soles or the upholstery. I can see them lasting that long again and previous Sauconys have also been very durable.
Weaknesses: They have taken some wearing in and at first they seem to stress the muscle round the shin. All fine now. I don't think they are the most comfortable either, the ride seems a bit high and as a result I certainly wouldn't race in them.
Overall: Good long lasting shoes that can handle the bulk of training for almost a year. Personally though, I'm fairly big (11 1/s stone) for a runner but I prefer something with a little bit more cushioning and a lower ride, I'll be going back to NB 765/6 after.
