Our read
Ride

A soft, heavily cushioned ride with a rockered geometry that keeps transitions smooth despite the substantial stack and 320 g weight.

Fit

Standard width only, running roughly true to size with a plush, broad platform underfoot.

Best for

Easy and recovery runs where maximum underfoot protection matters more than pace.

Avoid if

You want a quick, responsive shoe for tempo or faster efforts.
