The forefoot overlays have been removed on this update, so there's less chance for chafing and irritation. This helps give the toebox a bit more room. Runners who felt the Trainer 12 was too snug should take a look at the 13. The laces are off-center, following the actual topline of the foot for a more natural feel. Another nice bonus is the $10 drop in price. Recommended for biomechanically efficient runners or as a racing shoe for runners who train in stability shoes.

"This is an excellent shoe for interval training and for base miles." --George Tubon, 41, San Diego
"The angled lacing was ideal for my narrow foot." --Kendi Steinmetz, 45, East Lansing
"These shoes are so lightweight--it's almost like you aren't even wearing a shoe." --Stephanie Ferris, 16, East Lansing

The best shoe ive owned. Highly recommend for the serious runner. Perfect weight for the light runner and a snug fit forms to foot with a great curved sole for speed not too thick a heel for achilles power better than barefoot. See you at the 5 k..
