    Pros

    Light at 7.0 oz in the men's and 6.2 oz in the women's for a 40mm heel stack.

    One of three reviewers finds it snug at the heel and wide enough at the forefoot, a combination they could not get from the Ghost or the Vaporfly.

    Cons

    That reviewer has the heels wearing down too fast, though they rate the comfort worth it.

How this ranking works

Ratings come from our statistical models of runner reviews: the score is our best estimate of how a shoe is rated, and the bar behind it in an expanded row is the range we consider plausible given how many reviews it has. Shoes with few reviews rank more cautiously rather than shooting to the top on a handful of glowing write-ups. Prices are the live prices at the retailers we track, and everything ranked here is a shoe you can buy today.
