I ran ~ .5 miles in them, well ran about .3 walked back home. Too firm for me. Sold them. I know they are supposed to be softer than the original x's but imo meh.
Have a women's sz 9 fs in the classifieds as well BNIB. The shoe tester wore them around the house and was all F this shoe. (to be fair we get a lot of shoes, I think I have about a dozen in the current pile, several still BNIB not even opened).
Now I also know a few people that love them. Your best bet is to go to your local running shop and try them against several other shoes in that same general category. You may like the Hoka Rincon or Machs or Brooks Hyperion Tempo (Love this shoe), Brooks Launch or Levitate (although this shoe is a bit heavy imo), Saucony Kinvara, NB1080 (the sz 9 woman above LOVES this shoe -she orders 3pr at a time), Adidas Boston, 361 Sensation 4
The best way to find a pair of shoes you LOVE is hit up the local running shop. If you're ever in Tucson lmk as I've got several athletes, from pro runners & triathletes to BOP in both sports that I help them select shoes.
