Our read
Editorial interpretation from the specs and what we know of this shoe — opinion, not lab-tested.
Ride
A balanced, fairly firm ride from a modest 22/14 mm stack, held back by a heavy 300 g weight that limits liveliness.
Fit
Standard width only, with a conventional secure fit typical of entry-level ASICS trainers. No wide option is offered.
Best for
Beginners and budget-focused runners on smooth dirt paths, gravel, and mixed road-to-trail routes.
Avoid if
You run technical, muddy, or steep terrain where deeper lugs, rock protection, and lower weight matter.
