Based on 7 runner reviews.
“Grip is great for general all-round trail running. Gravel, dry dirt, anything mushy essentially, just avoid the deep mud, the grip doesn't go that far.”
“Fairly lightweight (250g for a size 44) and they feel speedy.”
“Comfort is excellent, the toe box is medium width, but the soft materials mean you have some toe spread when running.”
“It didn't compress while running, and didn't make me feel like I was wearing higher or larger shoes.”
“The shoes fit perfectly, with excellent toe box width.”
“At 300 miles in, grip is losing performance.”
“Fits like a glove. Good ground feel on trail and good energy return.”
“The cushioning is about average, fine for long trail runs, but not quite ultra-plush.”
“The top layer is stretched so thin all you really see is the bright yellowy-green, which isn't that nice.”
“I ran a 15 mile trail race in them—they were perfect.”
