I was looking for a new pair of shoes for marathon training and someone recommended the autopilots to me. I received them a few days after my order was placed, tried them on, and they felt immediately comfortable. I've done two runs in them so far (10km and 17km) and they've been a great fit, easy to run in and felt very comfortable. No soreness or anything afterwards, so I'm very happy with them. The only thing of note: some of my socks are very short and the back on the autopilot's is slightly higher than I'm used to, so they rubbed my heels just a bit. I wore slightly longer socks on my long run and had no issues at all, so it's a non-issue now.
These shoes remind me of a pair of hoka Bondi 8's that I ran in for quite a while, and still use for walking. Very similar feel and quality to them. So, very pleased with the Tarkine's and will buy again in future.
