Our read
Ride

A very tall stack of FF Blast Plus foam that stays light and bouncy, giving soft cushioning without feeling dead or sluggish.

Fit

Standard width only with a fairly snug, performance-oriented midfoot; runs true to size for most but leaves little room for wide feet.

Best for

Runners wanting one lightweight, high-stack shoe for long runs, easy days, and even uptempo efforts.

Avoid if

You need lateral stability from a tall platform or have wide feet, since it's a soft, tall build in standard width only.
