Our read

A stable, flexible gym and walking shoe for people who want ground feel and toe splay under the barbell; it's not really a running trainer despite the road label.

Ride

Low, firm underfoot cushioning with an InnerFlex grooved midsole for flexibility and a zero-drop, ground-connected feel suited to lifting and lateral movement.

Fit

Standard FootShape gives room for the toes with a secure midfoot, though several reviewers found this version firmer and narrower in the tongue and instep than the XT2. True-to-size for most, with some sizing up.

Best for

Gym sessions, lifting, and walking where a stable, flexible, ground-feel platform and a wide toe box matter more than cushioning.

Avoid if

You want a cushioned running shoe or any heel-to-toe drop, or you disliked the firmer, tighter feel reviewers noted versus the previous version.
