Variants of this shoe

Some shoes have multiple versions of what is essentially the same shoe, with variations in style or materials. We try to group these together. Retailers sometimes list a version number wrong, and our system can treat those mislabeled names as variants.

How it ranks

Confidence

How settled the rating is against every other rated shoe. A shoe can rate high on confidence with relatively few reviews of its own when its product line has a long record and external ratings from retailer sites agree. Confidence will score low when we have few ratings or when runners disagree.

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.

Fits comfortably, nice & snug around heel, wide enough in forefoot, couldn’t get This kind of comfort with brooks ghost , or Nike vaporfly, heels wear down too fast but the benefit of having a comfortable shoe Outweighs the drawback , been able to buy them on sale a few times too !
