Our read

A plateless, foam-forward speed trainer for runners who want race-day cushioning at a training price and mileage. Its defining trait is Lightstrike Pro underfoot without a plate, making it a do-everything uptempo shoe.

Ride

A high stack of Lightstrike Pro foam gives a soft but responsive ride with a moderate 6 mm drop; without a plate it feels less aggressive than a true racer.

Fit

Regular fit that runs true to size, though some runners find the toe box tight on first wear and the tongue slightly awkward to secure.

Best for

Runners wanting one shoe for easy miles, tempo work, and the occasional race, plus those who like Lightstrike Pro's ride without paying racer prices.

Avoid if

You want the propulsive snap of a carbon plate for racing, or need a wide-foot option since only standard width is offered.
