I like these shoes a lot and have only one complaint. There heel is a little overbuilt for a racer of this weight. If you are a light weight heel striker, then these shoes may be perfect for you. I prefer something with a little less heel since I tend to land on my midfoot. I use them now for training on my lazy days and use other flats for my faster days and races.

A great shoe that I will buy again
My A2s would wear out after 200 miles, or less, but the A3s are lasting quite a bit longer. I've worn these for 250+ miles and think I'll get over 300 miles out of them. As for the ride, I couldn't ask for more. They provide just a little amount of support, aren't mushy, and are nice and light and quick.
