How it compares
Side-by-side with its neighbouring generations.
Our read

A versatile daily trainer for runners who want a light, responsive shoe that can shift between easy runs and tempo work. Its firmer, ground-close ride is the trade-off for that snappy feel.

Ride

Firm, low-profile and responsive underfoot with efficient push-off rather than plush softness. Comfortable for easy miles but happy to pick up the pace.

Fit

Standard fit runs slightly small, with several reviewers going a half size up; a wide is offered, though some wide-footed runners still found it narrow. Roomy toe box and a gusseted upper give a locked-in feel.

Best for

Neutral runners who want one lightweight shoe for both daily training and tempo runs, and who prefer a firmer, ground-connected feel.

Avoid if

You want soft, plush max cushioning or a stability shoe, or you need a genuinely generous wide fit.
