How it ranks

Confidence
How settled the rating is against every other rated shoe. A shoe can rate high on confidence with relatively few reviews of its own when its product line has a long record and external ratings from retailer sites agree. Confidence will score low when we have few ratings or when runners disagree.

“The continental rubber is amazing on everything shy of deep mud”
“560 miles on them so far, with maybe another 50 or so to go”
“This boost version felt harder on the soles of my feet and more tiring on long runs”
“After just a few-hundred miles I feel like I have a bruise on my right mid-foot”
“The laces seem to stretch during a run, they start off good and snug but loosen up as the miles pass”
“The shoe is very lightweight, and I feel I am running fast in them”
“Fantastic for road races and faster runs, but can handle the longer miles well”
“The shoe is narrow and nimble, keeps me well planted on downhills”
“Front sole too stiff, heel too soft”
“Extremely responsive and relatively inflexible”
