I loved the look of this shoe and it felt great in the store. This is my second pair of shoes, so I still have a lot to learn.
I bought them even though they were about 40.00 more than what I usually spend.
They felt great, good traction, liked the toe-forward design, etc. But at 299 miles they pretty much died, so much so that I thought I had seriously injured my knee after a five mile run.
For the money I felt like they should've lasted a lot longer.
The toebox was a tad bit loose for my preference, the heel held my foot really well, tongue and lacing were excellant, they are really low profile so you're really close to the ground, which feels great too.
After this experience though I don't know that I'll buy into the DNA tech. I love my other Brooks, the Defyance 3's, got 367 miles outta' them, but these were a huge disappointment. I feel like I got 75.00 worth of performance from a 140.00 shoe.
