Our read
Ride
A firm, fairly basic daily ride with modest GEL cushioning under a 22/14 mm stack and 8 mm drop. Heavier than most entry trainers, so it feels stable but not lively.
Fit
Standard width only, with a fit that runs true to size and suits average-volume feet.
Best for
New runners on a tight budget logging easy road miles.
Avoid if
You want a light, responsive shoe for faster workouts or longer distances.
