Perfect for speed work and race day! ADIDAS Running: Marathon 10 M Color: Black/Fresh Lemon/Metallic Silver I purchased this running shoe a year ago in my search for a shoe that is somewhere between a minimalist style and the standard everyday run of the mill style running shoe. It is perfect for me. The light mesh fabric construction of the shoe is durable. The minimal difference between the heel rise and forefoot height of the sole was exactly what I wanted. The sole is a softer rubber material, which helps in weight reduction of the shoe and to absorb impact; however, you give up durability of sole life and the visible mileage wear is noticeable right away and you will have to replace them soon (depending upon your daily mileage) if used as an everyday trainer. I use mine for once a week speed work and long run and race day! Only draw back is they are discontinuing it as far as I know.

I really like this shoe for long runs & for being generally awesome. It's got the support and cushion needed to stay comfortable for 5+ & they break in easily - I had 15 miles after the first week. I trail run too and the TR version is on its way and I'm expecting the same badassery in that shoe.

I knew the product well since I've had several pairs already. So there were no surprises here. These are great sneakers; lightweight, comfortable, durable, plenty of support, good airflow, etc. I am not an athlete. I am scenic builder and theatrical rigger. Many people in my line of work use rock climbing shoes, hiking shoes or work boots. I think these are the best choice, giving me good grip and maneuverability when working in an unusual position or climbing. I also feel these are the industry choice for urban ninjas. Darn good piece of footwear!

I love my Marathon 10's. Very comfortable, hardly no break in. I purchased 2 pair of TR 10's from Zappos also. Very hard to find in my size. I really like Zappos. I've bought a lot of stuff from them and have always been happy with the products and service. I've looked for blue with red stripes for quite a while. I had a couple of pair maybe 30 years ago and finally found them.

Returned the wrong size. Got a prompt exchange and very courteous communication. Sent the exchange to the other side of the country--no problem. Sneakers are very light and my son, who is ultraconservative, loves the black/red sneakers.
