      These like most super shoes are indeed made for faster runners. Most brands now have a daily trainer shoe out with the nice pebax foam(different brands have different names for it) as these have and those are much better suited for slower runs. But even those are made the elites in mind so pick a pair that is well ventilated, the ufo grade runners want shoes that keep their feet warm when running their easy runs 4:40 per km :D

    Just grabbed a pair online last night. Out of the blue, wasn't expecting any in stock but they released a new colorway a few days ago. Dealing with some knee pain a month out from my first marathon... along with seeing a running PT I am hoping these shoes help me get through at a reasonable pace. Thanks for the review!
