Our read

A dependable everyday neutral trainer for runners who log miles in rain and cold; the GORE-TEX layer is the whole point, at the cost of extra weight and warmth.

Ride

Balanced DNA LOFT v3 cushioning with a smooth, moderately soft feel and a traditional 10mm drop, tuned for steady daily pace rather than speed.

Fit

Standard width only, with a true-to-size fit that most runners find accommodating; the GORE-TEX upper needs little break-in and works for slightly wider feet.

Best for

Runners who want a cushioned daily trainer that keeps feet dry through rain, wet grass, and cold conditions.

Avoid if

You want a light, breathable shoe for fast work or hot weather, since the waterproof membrane adds weight and warmth.
