    Pros

    Reviewers with wide feet praise the roomy toe box and the blister-free fit.

    At 6.6 oz it feels fast, and reviewers race and do tempo work in it.

    Comfort is the standout at 4.9 out of 5, and runners report no hot spots over long miles.

    Cons

    Uppers often rip before the midsole wears out, and durability averages 3.7 out of 5.

    Appearance is much the weakest dimension at 3.4 out of 5, and four reviewers compare the toe box to a bowling shoe.

    Two reviewers find the cushioning and traction thin, one with sore feet after 16-mile runs.

    Pros

    Reviewers highlight the wide toe box and comfortable fit.

    At 6.6 oz, reviewers call it light and responsive on roads.

    Reviewers say the zero-drop platform lets them run with their own mechanics.

    Cons

    The sole is largely exposed EVA, and reviewers report wear showing early.

    One reviewer finds the cushioning too thin beyond about ten miles.

    One reviewer finds the upper traps moisture, leaving their socks soaked.

    Cons

    Appearance and value are its two lowest-rated dimensions, both at 3.8 out of 5.
