This is my show of the year so far, I tried the SC Elite V4 and Puma Fast R2. This is an incredible shoe.

Im a heavier and slower runner. I liked this shoe even at slow paces on my long run. I felt like it was unstable at walking speeds though. It does take a little bit to get this shoe on and to get the fit right. The laces are a bit different but seemed to hold on to each other well. As I slowed down and went more to heal striking I noticed that I was landing directly on the foam at the very back so a little worried about how long this will last for me but overall really liked running in this shoe.
