Have had the previous version for about a year, and absolutely love them. Was skeptical that the Agility would be as good, but after a few weeks I am thrilled. --Great grip on pavement/trail/wet --Mesh is holding up well after multiple long trail runs/hikes --Great arch support --Lots of toe room (what i liked most about the All Out Peak) The only difference i can really feel is that the midsole appears to be slightly more dense than the All Out Peak. I assume this means it will hold up a bit longer, which is fine by me. Still great flex and cushion.
Had the extra 'big toe' room, lower heel to toe drop without being too flat, comfortable with snug fit, stable with nice flexibility, cushy but not soft, could move quickly and they felt like part of my foot with good reaction, not heavy feeling at all, sole was what I was looking for that can handle various trail types and difficulties but still be worn casually and for some road running. However, the front toe protection was slightly weak and will not protect your toes if hitting rock or roots. My lower arch felt pinched by the shoes arch and could feel arch pressure even when sitting down. Shoe had slight pressure on the top of my foot even after adjusting the laces and wasn't bad but did not seem to accommodate putting in a thicker/higher insert. I am not sure if someone with a mid to mid arch foot matching the higher arch of this shoe, and with likely a higher foot, would be able to fit this shoe properly with out excess pressure on top of their feet. This shoe seemed like good quality and was very close to what I was looking for, but the mid high arch was just too irritating.
