Critics' Concensus
Overview
The Ride
Reviewers generally describe a lively, bouncy forefoot and a controlled, stable high-stack ride; it tends to feel less smooth at very easy paces and comes alive at moderate to fast efforts.
Fit & Feel
Most testers report true-to-size with a slightly long fit, breathable mesh, secure lockdown, and a somewhat snug mid/forefoot that may not suit wide feet.
✓ Pros
- Good stability for the stack height
- Versatile at a range of paces
- Solid outsole grip
- Strong upper lockdown
✗ Cons
- Clunky heel/rigid midfoot at easy paces
- Occasional heel-collar irritation
Bottom Line
Best for: runners who want a high-stack plated trainer for workouts and long runs with a lively forefoot and controlled ride
Consider alternatives if: your workout shoe will also be your recovery day shoe; you prefer a very-soft ride; you have wide feet
