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.

Pros

  • Its one review so far says the foam holds up well.

Cons

  • That reviewer finds it surprisingly heavy for its stack height, and the foam less cushioned than expected.
  • Averaging 9.2 oz across the men's and women's builds, it is heavier than the 8.9 oz median for daily trainers on sale.

4/5

Overall

Surprisingly heavy for a similar stack height as a Saucony Kinvara (my last shoe). The foam on the bottom is not nearly as cushion-y as I thought it would be, but it holds up well.
