I am 5'10' and 176 pounds. I tread rather lightly, and land on my midfoot. I am also training for a marathon and currently running approx 30-35 miles a week, mostly on roads. My marathon pace is around 3:20~. I have a mid width 9.5 foot and this shoe fits perfectly, with enough room to spare in the toebox to prevent me loosing any toenails.

These shoes feel rather light, but not too light. After two runs feel very kind to the feet, but firm and responsive. The shoe feels high quality, and very comfortable. I love the trad design, and the large mesh areas on the shoe.

I am waiting a few weeks to see how the shoe ages, and then  I might just buy another pair so I can alternate two identical pairs.

As always, with NB higher end shoes the material and build quality are noghing less that excellent.

This is not a true minimalist shoe, and not a race day shoe. it is flat, and rather light, and offers a great combination of responsiveness and control.

More to come in several months.
