First off, the cushioning is next-level. The DNA Tuned midsole makes every step feel like I'm bouncing on memory foam. Road runs? Treadmill sessions? These shoes eat them up without transferring any harsh impact to my joints.
The engineered knit upper wraps my foot like a custom sock – no break-in period needed. I was worried about breathability, but even on hot summer runs, my feet stay surprisingly cool and dry.
As someone with slightly wider feet, the accommodating toe box is a game-changer. No more squished toes or blisters after long distances. The heel lockdown is secure without being restrictive.
They do run a bit snug – I took the advice from other reviewers and sized up a half size. Perfect fit now. The only minor drawback? The ultra-plush cushion makes me work slightly harder on speed days, but that's a tradeoff I'll take for the comfort on long runs.
After 50+ miles, they're holding up beautifully with minimal wear. These have become my daily trainers for everything except track workouts. Worth every penny for runners who prioritize comfort over absolute speed.
