This shoe is great for beginners. The Lightmotion midsole provides stable yet comfortable cushioning — not too firm, not too soft.
Recommendation: Ideal as your daily training shoe, especially when you're just starting to build mileage or develop a running habit.

User Review Summary
Many users report stable performance in the first 200-300 km, with decent midsole rebound and outsole wear. However, during long-distance training or under heavy load / poor road conditions, cushioning and fit may deteriorate more quickly.
