Our read

A do-everything trail workhorse for runners who want a natural, zero-drop platform with foot-shaped room up front. Its defining trait is that wide toe box paired with ground-connected, moderate cushioning.

Ride

Zero-drop, firm and ground-connected ride with a StoneGuard rock plate for protection over rocks and debris. Altra EGO foam offers moderate cushion rather than plush softness.

Fit

Roomy Original FootShape toe box with a secure midfoot; only standard width offered, though the shape suits wider forefeet. A couple of reviewers note the heel can feel slightly loose.

Best for

Runners who want a natural zero-drop feel with toe-splay room on technical trails and long hikes.

Avoid if

You need heel-to-toe drop, a plush max-cushion ride, or a narrow secure heel.
