How it compares
Side-by-side with its neighbouring generations.
Our read
A no-frills everyday shoe for new or casual runners who want one affordable pair for easy miles and all-day wear. Nothing about it stands out beyond the price.
Ride
Balanced, moderately soft ride from DNA LOFT v2 that handles easy daily runs without feeling either firm or plush.
Fit
Fits true to slightly short with a secure, somewhat snug heel; offered in standard and wide, so most feet are covered.
Best for
Beginners and casual runners wanting an inexpensive single shoe for easy runs and everyday wear.
Avoid if
You want a lively, responsive ride for faster workouts or long-distance training, where the plain foam falls short.
