Review: Mesh uppers are super breathable. They wear similarly to other Altra models. Nice and light with not too much cushion. I wouldn't recommend unless you are accustomed to zero drop shoes. If you are, they are the best for racing.
Review: Third pair of these and absolutely love them. These shoes are for sure a love them or hate them but they are my go to all the time now. I don’t get the longest time out of them and usually wear them down after about 5 months but still the favorite running shoe.
