Above average (90/100)
This score rates better than 83% of shoes.
Our ratings use detailed reviews from knowledgeable runners, ratings for shoes in the same product line, and reliable product information from trusted retailers.
Rankings combine runner ratings, whether reviewers say they'd buy a shoe again, direct comparisons to other shoes, related product-line performance, and trusted external ratings.
The darker band shows the central score range. The lighter band shows a wider range of reasonable outcomes. More reviews for this shoe usually narrow both bands.

One of the best minimalist shoes I've ever used. Love the asymmetric closure. Excellent sensitive groundfeel with slight amount rock protection. Love these shoes.
