Comments: 150lb, 6ft3", 40mi/wk, 7:30pace. Got my marathon PR in Banditos. Just got the DS Racer 8. They have a light, responsive feel like Banditos, even with a bit more welcome padding.

Comments: This is a good shoe BUT where the stripes comes down on the inside of my feet by the big toe I got blisters. This occured slightly in a 5k and then badly in a 15k. I guess the stripes rubbed my feet the wrong way.

Comments: Good room in the toe box, comfortably snug everywhere else. Just enough support, but not so much that you can't feel the road underneath. Feel very light, flexible, but also somewhat stable. Definitely no stiffness in this shoe. I like them. Very comparable to the Banditos, as was expected.
