Big and Bouncy

4/5

Overall

Certainly a big shoe. Definitely bouncy and durable. Great fit. If anything struggles to fit into a particular niche - too bulky really for recovery, better as a daily trainer with some bounce for cruising at pace. But too big and heavy for a speed or tempo shoe. Bought for a discount so cracking price and will be a great casual shoe. 500km to date lots of wear left for runs, dog walking, casual, gym etc.
