Both reviewers so far rate comfort 5 out of 5 and describe a good amount of toe box width with a snug upper.
One reviewer says the foam is not too squishy, firm enough for trails but responsive on road.
Cons
Durability draws 3.5 out of 5 in the two reviews so far, the lowest mark of any dimension, and one reviewer hopes the next model is more durable.
One reviewer says the padding blunts ground feel enough that it does not suit more technical trails.
