Our read

A high-value, cushion-rich daily trainer for neutral runners who want protective mileage over spring; just don't expect a lively or roomy ride.

Ride

A firm-balanced, well-protected ride with strong shock absorption and a gentle forefoot rocker, though energy return is low so it feels cushioned rather than springy.

Fit

Fits true to size with a medium overall width, but the toebox is low-volume and slightly narrow, so it suits average to narrow feet more than wide ones.

Best for

Neutral runners and beginners wanting a durable, high-cushion daily trainer that handles long runs at a reasonable price.

Avoid if

You want a bouncy, responsive ride or need a roomy toebox with space to splay your toes.
