Light and fast shoe
I'm getting back into running because I've been such a slug lately, ugh. This is a great shoe that feels so light on the feet and it feels halfway between the old shoes I ran in and the racing flats I used to wear in cross country days. There's not a ton of padding in the heel so if you're a heel striker, you're probably going to hate it. Length wise, the shoe is true to size, but it does run a tad bit narrower than some other styles I've worn. There's enough give in the lacing area that it's not a problem for me, but I can see how others might dislike the fit.

I've done a bunch of 3-mile or so runs in these and I love them
So far, I've done about 20 miles on these, averaging 2-3 miles a run. For those purposes, I've loved them.I haven't used them for any actual distance running, and I do suspect they might not be the shoe I want for marathon training, but I'm mostly only running short stuff these days anyway. For those purposes, these feel fast, have sufficient traction, and fit well in my standard size (9).For comparison, my long-distance shoe is the Ultraboost, also in size 9, which gives great support when I'm out there for 10+ miles, but feel heavy and sluggish on shorter runs.For size comparison, I'm also a 9 in Adidas Pureboost, Brooks Glycerin, and Hoka One One.

Comfortable
Shoe is very comfortable. It’s great for days on walking long distances or running. Not the most stylish shoe but it complements outfits nicely. Shoe fits as expected. Not too tight or small, so purchase your size. Only complaint is dirt is hard to get out of surrounding top of shoe. Rain soaks through easily.

SL20
I like the fit, cushion and sole. The only thing I don’t like is how ankle gusset digs into your ankle when new. After having the shoes for awhile, I don’t feel as much because they are starting to break in after 5 miles. But I like everything else about them. They smooth and absorb a a lot of shock. Great for a daily trainer and threshold runs. Outstanding quality though!!

Comfortable, easy on and off, LOVE the color!
I purchased these sneakers for my 75 y/o mother. And she loves these sneakers! She is telling me what to write in this review... she says they are very comfortable and sturdy on her feet, which help her to maintain her balance while out on walks with us. Her only complaint is that the shoes laces slip and must be tied in a double knot each time she wears them. The color is her favorite and and wouldn't change anything else (except the laces material) about these trainers!

Good running shoes
Great fit, excellent running shoes. My only complaint is that they could use a bit more arch support, but then again I have very high arches. I run 3-6 miles 4x a week, and have been doing so in these since late December, 2020. So far so good! They have good traction for the rainy days, and are breathable but not to the point where my toes get too cold. I love the color, because it helps increase my visibility after dark.

A little stiff
They fit fine and are good looking. They'd be OK for 10k or less training, but the cushioning is lacking for longer distances. For me, this is essential. The stiffness makes them less forgiving. I understand they have good reviews, which was partly why I bought them. But you can't, won't, and don't know these things until you put them on. I like them and they're a decent shoe. But I don't think I'd buy them again for the same purpose (marathon training).
