Lot of cushioning all around. Good for slow or medium paced long runs. While it is not that heavy I would still advise you to go for another pair of lighter shoes for your race day.
The shoes are excellent but unfortunately do not fulfil my requirements Due to broad feet and longer toes which touch the front of the shoe easily while running. The rest, material quality, and grip of the shoe are excellent. One must buy it for routine purposes. If it is 11.5 size it would be a great deal for me.
