Critics' Concensus
Overview
The Ride
Reviewers describe a soft-to-moderate cushioning feel with a smooth, rockered transition and a naturally stable platform. It’s comfortable for easy/steady runs and walking, but can feel chunky and less lively if you try to pick up the pace. Traction is dependable.
Fit & Feel
Generally true-to-size with a roomy fit (some found it very wide), a plush, padded collar/tongue, and a breathable updated mesh upper. Multiple widths are available; lockdown is solid, but narrow-footed runners may need to really tighten the laces to get a solid lockdown.
✓ Pros
- Comfortable, protective cushioning for daily miles/long time on feet.
- Naturally stable ride from the broad base; rocker aids smooth transitions.
- Upper comfort/lockdown improved; multiple width options.
- Good outsole grip/traction and durable feel.
✗ Cons
- Heavy/chunky feel; not very versatile for fast running.
- Very roomy/wide fit may be too spacious for narrow feet.
- Overall “not exciting” at quick paces; more cruiser than tempo shoe.
Bottom Line
Best for: runners wanting a plush, stable, rockered cruiser for easy and steady daily mileage, long walks/standing, or recovery days.
Consider alternatives if: you are seeking a snappy, lightweight trainer or a narrow/precision fit; consider a livelier or lighter option for tempo/intervals.
