    If you are looking for a great trainer that can handle speed work, long runs, and slow,easy runs... this is your shoe!

    I have run in the voter and pegasus series, but the drop is too high for me...feels sloppy when the pace picks up.

    I have run in 6 pairs of this shoe.

    Overall, I like it. I migrated from a Nike Pegasus and it has taken some time to adjust. It seems to be a little harder on my heels and lower legs. I'm a mid-foot striker.

    I like it, not bouncy, feels a lot like the Kinvara 5 to me but more durable and slightly heavier

    Only shoe that fits my narrow foot and has good forefoot control for forefoot stride. But the sole wears out really early.
