I bought them specifically for 5k and 10k races. They are fantastically light! Feels like there is no shoe on the foot, but it is there and provides comfort when running. I pronate and these shoes don't hurt my feet at all. would recommend.

Got these on the recommendation of a friend of mine who is an avid runner. I know there are others that could be "better" and he suggested them, but for the price I got these. They were a little hard to crack but damn when I cracked them. I never knew what REAL Arch Support was. These feel great. They are cozy and comfortable

Lightweight, responsive and with good grip. Very fast shoes. I don't like running shoes. The shoes feel too heavy and slow. closer to a minimalist shoe, but not quite. The heel drop is not that big. I usually run 2-4 miles in these shoes. It looks like a great shoe for 5K. The only downside for me is that the laces have to be tied twice. Laces with undone if not.

I like the color combination of this shoe. I like to run early in the morning before sunrise and it was easy to combine a pair of light colored shirts with shoes. I'm not a big fan of how they feel when running. The shoes have no cushioning and you can feel the impact of your foot on the road, which is uncomfortable.

You know what they say, just choose comfortable shoes. As a 200+ pound flat tire racer (non-elite), I have experience flat tire racing. Asics DS Racers and Nike Lunaracers were my PR shoes. Both went. Then they say that Fastwitch is the last flat for stability racing. You feel fantastic! Can't wait to try them on my first 5K or speed workout.
