    Pros

    A 44mm heel stack on a 5mm drop, well above the 36mm median for trail shoes on sale.

    Cushioning is the strongest of its categories at 4.3 out of 5 across the six reviewers so far.

    Cons

    Averaging 11.3 oz across the men's and women's builds, it is far heavier than the 8.9 oz median for trail shoes on sale.

    Durability averages 3.0 out of 5 across the six reviewers so far.

    One of six reviewers says it is worn as a fashion shoe and is not a running shoe.
