Our read

A versatile, zero-to-low-drop trail runner for people who want toe splay and a light, efficient ride rather than maximum protection. The redesigned heel collar is the wildcard—several longtime fans report Achilles irritation.

Ride

The EGO P35 midsole plus rocker shape deliver a light, responsive ride at 4mm drop, with MaxTrac providing dependable grip on mixed terrain. No plate and moderate stack, so ground feel stays fairly direct.

Fit

Standard FootShape fit gives a roomy toe box with a secured midfoot, in standard width only. Runs true to size, but the reworked heel collar has caused Achilles rubbing for some previous-model wearers.

Best for

Runners who want a natural, wide-toe-box feel and a light setup for smooth-to-moderate trails and door-to-trail miles.

Avoid if

You tackle sustained technical or wet terrain where Vibram-grade traction matters, or you're sensitive at the Achilles, since the new heel collar has caused irritation for some.
