Good first model for longer trail runs. Looking forward to trying the new model to see if more durable.

versatile, everyday training shoe

tim · Nov 23, 2023

4/5

Overall

fit:

very comfortable and true to size at least in my experience, a good amount of toe box width and snug upper.

padding:

a good cushion foam that's not too squishy and provides good response on road but also is firm enough to run some trails, however they, in my opinion, are not suitable for more technical trails as the padding impedes ground feel. over all a good level of padding for easy running and daily miles on a variety of terrain.

out sole:

a hard outer sole that is the most durable part of this shoe, has withstood over 500km of running and a year of daily use, so if you use them purely for running probably around 700km+ of usable distance. Well textured and provides good grip on road and dirt/gravel trails, struggles on wet rocks.

special features:

the quick lace system provides adequate adjustment, holds well, and reasonably durable. however its nothing to shout about.
