Lara Hamilton's review

I've used this shoe A LOT. In fact, mine is probably past its "best-by-date", yet they're still going strong. Look, I will turn them over soon, but it's just a testament to the shoe. It is great on the track and the road. However I find them best for a faster threshold road trainer!
