Light and fast
I bought these a half size down, as I have learned to do with racing shoes, but my feet are not wide. These are much softer-soled than other flats I have worn with similarly thin mid-soles. The grip was impressive on an icey track. No hot spots, my feet felt great. They'd probably be OK up to a half marathon, although I doubt anyone will try that these days.If you're racing a road mile, 5k or 10k, and don't want to wear carbon-plated platform shoes, this could be the way to go. They might save your ankles if the surface is a bit uneven (potholes, ridges) or if there are sharp corners on the course.

Well worth the value
This is perfect for wearing as a flat racing shoe on a track for middle distance runs of 3,000 to 10,000 metres. It is extremely light and an alternative to spikes, particularly for an older runner like me.

So unexpectedly lightweight. Great for traveling!
Love these shoes. Using them for a tradeshow. And they are so lightweight that it makes throwing them into a suitcase a breeze. Highly recommend.

Durability still to be determined
First off, these shoes are incredibly light. In fact, the lightest running shoes made by any credible brand. They also look aesthetically pleasing and fit true to size. It's like wearing a sock with laces and grips. With that being said, I'm not sure they will hold up over time. When manufacturing such a light shoe, compromises in material choice are made to shave weight. You can't have an ultra durable shoe and it weigh 3 ounces. You have to manage expectations. If I get 100 miles out of these, I will be pleased. Keep in mind, that's 100 miles in a shoe bought specifically for race day and short interval speed training. You don't buy this shoe for marathons lol. Like others have said, 10K would be on the high end in terms of distance. Personally, I don't like the carbon plated platform junk, and they hurt my calves. I quickly returned a pair of Hoka carbon x2's before buying these. I like a mid range heel drop and positive contact on the ground. These shoes fit the bill in that department, and although the foam is thin, it's shockingly forgiving on my knees. Only issue is, if you normally require any pronation support, running in these can cause discomfort after a run. They don't claim to offer any support, and how could they at 3 ounces, but just be warned. In summary, use them for the intended purpose, which is going fast and looking good doing it!

Super thin flimsy cheap material. Not worth the price even if they fit
