These are great shoes race shoes for Long distance. The only drawback is you are giving up some length of life with the extreme cushioning. They are great for long distance run and race. You should not train in them very much as I would guess they are closer to a 300 mile life shoe vs others that are 400-500 mile life shoes.

Awesome shoe! Tongueless upper is amazing. Heel fit nice and snug. Good cushion and a very reactive feel. You roll thru foot strike easily! Like the VP and Zoom Fly These are RUNNING shoes, not walking shoes. Sure you can walk in them but they wont feel quite as spectacular.
