snayak Mar 2020 4:20pm, 22 Mar 2020 391 posts	0 snayak Yea, I've got the Solstice. Love them! I've also got the Kayenta. Both are zero drop, lots of room in the toe box and super light. I prefer the Kayenta for racing though. They're a lot more responsive. The soles on both also seem to be holding up very well.
