Our read
Ride
Soft, high-stack cushioning with FF BLAST PLUS foam and GEL prioritizes comfort over energy return, giving a cushioned but not particularly springy ride.
Fit
Runs true to size with a comfortable, plush upper and multiple widths including standard, wide, and extra-wide.
Best for
Long, easy road miles and recovery runs where maximum underfoot comfort matters more than speed.
Avoid if
You want a responsive, ground-connected ride for tempo work or racing.
