Our read
Editorial interpretation from the specs and what we know of this shoe — opinion, not lab-tested.
Ride
Balanced, moderately cushioned ride with a firm rock plate underfoot; the added waterproofing and 295g weight make it feel more like a stable workhorse than a nimble runner.
Fit
Standard-width fit only, with a secure trail-oriented upper and GORE-TEX membrane that runs slightly warmer than the non-waterproof version.
Best for
Wet and cold trail outings where dry feet and underfoot protection matter more than speed.
Avoid if
You want a light, responsive shoe or run mostly in dry, warm conditions where the GORE-TEX adds heat and weight for no benefit.
