A bit under the radar but solid cushioned shoe

Anonymous runner · Dec 7, 2024

3/5

Overall

Not max cushion but firm but bouncy foam is good for everyday easy runs, with incredible durability and a lot of rubber. A bit heavy but that doesn’t matter too much

Super Comfortable, look for a sale

Overall

These have been a great addition to my rotation. They are more supportive than the Invincibles, but don't have quite the same bouncy underfoot feel.
