    Pros

    The one reviewer so far bought it for traction after repeated falls on trails and has not fallen since.

    That reviewer rates comfort and cushioning 5 out of 5 and also uses it on the road for slow recovery runs.

    Cons

    Appearance draws 3 out of 5 in the single review so far, the lowest mark of any dimension.

    That reviewer finds it heavy next to the Kinvaras she normally runs in.
