Yes, the combination of responsive cushioning and comfort makes them a strong choice for marathon distances, especially for runners who prefer a lively feel.
Can I use these shoes for gym workouts?
While they can be used for general fitness activities in the gym, they are primarily optimized for running. For heavy weightlifting, a more stable shoe might be preferable.

Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight
Loosen the laces and re-tie them, ensuring the Flywire system is not over-tightened. Consider if a different size might be more suitable.
Discomfort during runs
Ensure you are wearing appropriate running socks. Check that the lacing provides a secure but not constricting fit. Break the shoes in with shorter runs before attempting long distances.
Reduced energy return over time
The cushioning and responsiveness can diminish with high mileage. Consider replacing the shoes after approximately 300-500 miles, depending on running style and terrain.
Slipping on wet surfaces
The outsole is optimized for dry or slightly damp road conditions. Exercise caution on very wet or slick surfaces as grip may be reduced.
