What reviewers say

Reviewers agree it is a durable, comfortable and versatile everyday trainer, with the new ReactX foam and rockered sole suiting heel strikers in particular. Believe in the Run's testers found it short of cushioning and bounce for runs over an hour, and thought it best for casual runners and shorter runs.
