Very comfortable right out of the box. The wide toe box and minimal drop are what this shoe brand is known for. My only issue is longevity. In under 200 miles the tread is nearly gone, and the padding has really packed down.
This shoe is not a stability shoe in any way. The sole is too flexible and the upper has no support. And weirdly after only occasional wear because they’re not giving me the stability I like, I started getting blisters from heal rub.
I've been running in the Ultrafly line since version 2. These have helped me run multiple half marathons again without foot pain or numbness after a Mortons neuroma diagnosis. I'm flat footed and appreciate the mild stability these shoes offer. I have 3 pairs of the Ultrafly 4s and all have held up well at the 300 mile mark. Just wish they had better color choices.
