Our read

A cushioned, roomy trail shoe for zero-drop runners who want comfort over long distances; its natural foot shape and stack come at the cost of a locked-down, precise fit.

Ride

Balanced, cushioned ride on a zero-drop platform with no plate, offering ground protection without much firmness underfoot.

Fit

Foot-shaped last with a roomy toe box in a single standard width; several reviewers note the midfoot and heel hold is less secure than earlier versions and the fit runs slightly short.

Best for

Zero-drop runners logging long or technical trail miles who value toe splay and cushioning over a snug, locked-in fit.

Avoid if

You need a secure heel and midfoot lockdown on off-camber terrain, or you're not adapted to a 0 mm drop.
