Yes, the combination of cushioning and energy return makes them suitable for long-distance running, including marathons.

The heel-to-toe drop is 10mm.

While they offer good cushioning, their primary design is for road running. For gym workouts, especially those involving lateral movements, dedicated training shoes might be more appropriate.

Ensure there is a thumb's width of space between your longest toe and the end of the shoe when standing. The fit should be snug in the heel and midfoot, with enough room in the toe box.

Air Zoom refers to Nike's cushioning technology, which uses pressurized air units embedded in the midsole to provide responsive cushioning and a propulsive feel.

The mesh upper is breathable and water-resistant to a degree, but they are not waterproof. They are designed for running in dry or slightly wet conditions.

This is normal as the shoes break in. Ensure the lacing is adjusted correctly for a snug but not tight fit. If discomfort persists after several runs, consider the fit or a different model.

The Waffle outsole provides good traction, but like all running shoes, performance on very wet surfaces can vary. Ensure the outsole is clean and free from debris. Consider your stride and foot placement on slick surfaces.

The breathable mesh upper is designed for a secure fit. If it feels too tight, loosen the laces, particularly around the forefoot area, to allow for more natural foot splay.
