Anyone try this?
It looks close to a traditional flat.
Is the foam competitive with the better foams out there?
Is it simple enough to work for hard workouts or only in between slow and workout?

I use them for 5k road races and workouts, they don't have any plate or anything fancy but they feel fast enough
My 17 year old daughter uses these for speed workouts and cross country meets. She is on her 3rd or 4th pair. I have tried to get her to use something with a carbon plate but she loves the tempo. I had a pair from a few years back before I had carbon shoes. They are light but once you’ve run in carbon these feel hard as a rock!
Yup, this shoe is very, very firm compared to most of the options out there today. I reviewed it a few years ago, and wrote:
"The shoe offers a firm and responsive ride. It is more reminiscent of a traditional racing flat than the bouncier alternatives on the market today."
Even back then, when bouncy bouncy shoes were less ubiquitous than they are today, I found that the shoe was too firm for me to use for anything slower than tempo runs.
I use the shoe for most of my tempo and interval work and really like it.
It's a very traditional and stable feeling ride but the foam is pretty responsive and fairly protective. It's super light and feels quick.
It very much has the feeling of a well cushioned, old fashioned racing flat.
It really depends on what you are looking for. If you like sitting on a big, soft wedge or unstable pebax then you are not going to like this.
But if you like an old school ride with a more modern foam then it's perfect.
