I've been a 15 year runner, 200 pounds, neutral leg. For the distance this is one of the lightest running shoes I've worn with great cushioning and fantastic heel support. I've had a pair for six months now and have ridden them over 400 miles and they are still holding up well. Last week we ran a trail half marathon with them. Despite several kilometers of steep descent, my toes survived perfectly, a first for me. This is truly the best pair of running shoes I have ever worn and I will be buying many more pairs.
