I really didn't need these shoes, but, at the Revain deal price it was a no-brainer. I have Hoka's and On Cloudmonsters in my daily rotation and these Saucony running shoes have become a welcome addition as well. They are lightweight, well-cushioned, fast and quite attractive. The forward spring from the full-length nylon pad propels the foot forward and the maximal cushioning adds to make it a great shoe for longer runs. It's a great shoe at $160, but, at $80 there was not a chance that I could pass it by. Glad I went for these!
