'VERY LIGHT AND COMFORTABLE, BUT UNPROVEN OVER LONGER DISTANC'
Strengths: Super-light and comfortable, easy to run in straight from the box. Takes my orthotics well.
Weaknesses: Remains to be seen whether I would find these give enough support for a marathon. A bit pricy too?
Overall: Very pleased with these. A good buy, my first attempt to replace the tried and tested (and much missed) New Balance 1023s that were previously my shoe of choice. Look good too, if that matters to you!
'GOOD NEUTRAL SHOE - RECOMMENDED FOR WEAR WITH ORTHOTICS'
Strengths: A light and comfy trainer for those seeking a neutral shoe. Nice and roomy (which means it holds my orthotics nicely), especially in toe box which, as someone previously prone to black toenails, I really appreciate.
Weaknesses: Wears quite quickly on the heel, though that could well be mostly down to my strange biomechanics. Also quite a clunky shoe when new.
Overall: I switched to this shoe from the NB880 and have been very pleased with it indeed.
