600 MILES AND COUNTING
Comfortable, not too heavy
None really
I've run over 600 miles in my 1st pair of 9s after moving up from 8s, so impressed that I jumped at the chance to buy 2 pairs for £49.99 each from Milletsports.co.uk

LIGHT, COMFORTABLE AND QUICK, BUT POOR DURABILITY
Comfortable, lighter than previous versions, stable enough, no injuries wearing them. Have just bought 3rd pair, so they must be OK!
Heel rubber wears out much more quickly than other Asics models, despite having the AHAR+ logo.
Got me under 3 hours for the first time, so no complaints really :-)

NOT WHAT I'D EXPECT.
Attractive, quite light, excellent fit, good cushioning, great responsiveness, available in 2 width fittings.
Poor heel tab design for supinators, very inflexible, outsole wears too quickly.
As someone with a supinating left foot and neutral right foot, these seemed perfect. I’d got on really well with the apparently unsuitable GT-2110, and seeing these described as a neutral equivalent meant they were as good as sold!
They fit brilliantly and look great. They are also light, well ventilated, with very good cushioning (particularly in the forefoot) and superb responsiveness.
Unfortunately, they are very tightly fitting around the heel tab area, and this meant that the inside rear of my supinating foot is forced against the top of the shoe, causing pain after 3 or 4 miles. This is very disappointing in a shoe which is meant to be designed for supinators and neutral runners. There was no such problem with my other (neutral) foot. The other problem with these shoes is that they are very inflexible and to me felt almost like having two planks of wood under my feet.
Other issues with the shoe are that the outsole appears to wear quicker than other Asics models, although apparently made of the same AHAR+ material, and the “space trussic” is vulnerable to letting water in.
I’ve seen them priced at anywhere from £31 to £85 and are currently available in two colourways in this country, as well as a wide fitting version, which for some reason comes in a different colourway.
I would only recommend these to neutral runners (not supinators) who need very little flexibility in their shoes. I have marked them for value based on a £50 price tag.
