A dependable foul-weather trail workhorse for runners who prioritize dry feet and grip over low weight; the GORE-TEX build makes it a wet-season specialist rather than an all-year daily.
Balanced firmness from nitrogen-infused DNA FLASH v2 cushioning with a 6mm drop, giving a stable, ground-connected feel that favors control over softness. The 4mm Vibram Megagrip lugs grip reliably on wet and dry technical terrain.
Standard-width medium fit only, reported as true to size by early reviewers. No wide option is offered.
Runners tackling wet, muddy, or technical trails who want a stable, waterproof shoe and don't mind the extra weight.
You want a light, breathable shoe for fast efforts or hot, dry conditions, since the GORE-TEX upper adds weight and traps heat.
