Great shoe but rather pricey!

Great fit, lightweight, good for midfoot running

price and limited availability

This shoe took a while to break in and I wasn't sure about them at first but after 100 miles they are my comfiest, most supportive road shoe! I midfoot run naturally so I didn't need to work too hard to get used to them, even so it took a few months before I was happy! They come up quite small so I would order half a size larger than normal!

REALLY COMFORTABLE SHOE, WELL WORTH THE EXTRA £50

Allow you to run further without aching legs
Forefoot striking feels more natural and faster way to run
Prevents injuries and niggles
Really comfortable

Expensive
May be a little flashy for some people

I purchased these trainers (2011 version) a few weeks ago and the salesman told me they may take a few weeks to get used to which may be true for some, but i loved them immediately. Before i bought these i could run no more than 20 miles a week without my legs hurting now i am running 40 and no aches or pains. The forefoot running style immediately improved my 5k pb by 40 seconds, I would definately reccomend them and will be getting some more when mine are worn

Work for me

Light shoes with a focus on midfoot striking

The lace eyelets tear the shoe cloth very easily

good shoe, quality of lace eyelets could be better

Not just marketing balls they actually work!

Light and very breathable almost and light as a race shoe. Promotes fore foot running and helps push you along. Since switching to these I have not had any injuries. Before I was always pickup up the odd niggle.

Expensive and take some getting use to if you are a heel striker.

I was not sure if these where just marketing balls or actual something that works. So when I saw them on the self I had to give them a go on the treadmill. I was amazed at it felt like someone was pushing me along. So bit the expensive bullet and brought them.

Took a while to get use to as I needed to make the switch from a minor heel strike to landing on the fore foot.

Since switching I have knocked 2 mins of my 5Km PB and 10 of my 10 mile PB and also ran my first marathon and not picked up a single injury. Could be a down to my training but I think the shoes have helped.

VERY DIFFERENT TO ANYTHING ELSE

Light, fast and extraordinarily responsive thanks to the Active Membrane technology. Exceptionally light for a training shoe. Encourages and enables transition to forefoot running and is cushioned and designed to specifically suit this style.

The upper,due to it's lightweight design, is not as resillient as other uppers.

A brilliant innovation in running. Unique!
