Our read
Editorial interpretation from the specs and what we know of this shoe — not lab-tested.
Ride
A very cushioned, stable ride that leans soft and protective rather than quick, with a moderate 6 mm drop.
Fit
Standard width only, with a secure midfoot from the H-frame stability structure; runs true to size for most.
Best for
Runners who want maximum cushioning with built-in support for slower daily and recovery miles.
Avoid if
You want a light, responsive shoe for tempo or faster efforts.
