Better yet - I just ordered them. Only 200 pairs available.

They are very cool. Will order another shortly as well

One of the things Brooks did for Chrissie with these shoes is add the loops to make them faster to pull on during the transition.

I do like the color.

Ran my first run, 4 miles, this morning in these. Nice, light, not much cushion. Plan to run in a 10k tomorrow to test them out for real. I had a bit of an irritating spot under the left arch. Not sure there is enough cushion in them for me to run a marathon. Maybe.

For those of you who run in these, what kind of mileage do you get?

I seem to get between 100-150 miles out of the T7. My elite racing friends give up on them after 2 marathons - but they get free shoes.

Ran the 10k in them yesterday and liked them a lot. 100 miles could get expensive.

I've found with racing flats that I'll retire them from races/workouts after 100-150 miles, but can still use them for easy runs.

Yes, retired from racing. Still usable for easy runs/treadmilling.
