Long-term comfort and higher volume performance
During that time, I've run short straights, easy runs, and a few longer runs of around 15 km in them. And since it's autumn, I couldn't avoid wet leaves, mud, and unpaved roads - so the shoes aren't exactly "clean as new" in the photos. And I'm actually glad, because that's exactly how the shoes I actually use look.
The padding "settled" nicely around the instep and heel, and the shoe conformed beautifully to the shape of my foot. Even with higher mileage, I don't feel like it lost its support or firmness.
Stability
What I enjoy the most is the stable control of the stride, which does not seem hard or aggressive. It is a kind of "soft stability". You are aware of it, but it does not limit you. Thanks to this, even technically simpler unpaved paths are manageable.
They provide confidence at a slower pace, and they don't act cumbersome at a faster pace. After two months, it's a typical "everyday shoe" for me that simply works.
