They were purchased on sale, so for the money I got them (50 €) they were definitely worth it. For the current price, I would probably go for a different model. Overall, it's a good shoe with the well-known Mizuno quality. But what mainly impressed me negatively was their grip on wet surfaces. And I'm not talking about mountains (there they might have better performance), but in urban environments and walking pace. Also, during a half marathon, they rubbed against my Achilles tendon externally, but it was probably more the fault of the sock.
