Our read
Editorial interpretation from the specs and what we know of this shoe — opinion, not lab-tested.
Ride
A very tall, soft FF BLAST PLUS stack delivers plush protection, and at 230 g it stays lighter than most max-cushion trainers, though the plateless soft foam is more about comfort than snap.
Fit
Standard width only in a tall, soft platform; the 8 mm drop and secure midfoot suit neutral runners but leave no options for wider feet.
Best for
Easy daily miles, recovery runs, and long time on feet where maximum softness matters more than ground feel.
Avoid if
You want a stable, connected ride for faster work or need a wide fit on the tall platform.
