    Jack Mislinski, Ultra Runner / Running Coach

    Awesome light and cushy long or easy run shoe. And dang, they look clean, too. For the price, it's up there with the best.

    Spencer Imbach, Trail Runner & Snowboarder

    A light and bouncy trainer that can handle anything from easy recovery runs, to long runs and even some tempo miles. These are an entry level version of their racer for runners looking for lively fun without the stiffness of a plated shoe. They'll take you far (not as stable as MTC R1) with incredible bang for your buck.

    I have put hundreds of miles on my Evo SLs and they are holding up great. I love these versatility of these shoes, they feel snappy and responsive during speed work, but still plenty of cushioning for long slow runs.

    At this point, most of everyone running had tried these. They are good. I’d get another pair once mine go flat.
