Everything you love about the flight foam from ASICS road shoes with outstanding traction and durability. Not bad on the roads as well.

5/5
Overall
For my old man legs, this midsole is the best thing I've felt. The outsole is at least as good as anything by Vibram. The upper fits true to size and is well sorted. The heel counter is pretty stiff for a modern shoe, but doesn't cause problems for me. The only cheap part of the shoe was the insole which slides around is easily compressed to paper thickness.
