Our read
Ride
A high-stack Pebax-plated ride that stays balanced in firmness while adding pop for uptempo running. The plate and foam combination gives a propulsive feel without being harsh.
Fit
Standard-width fit only, running true to size with a moderately snug midfoot suited to faster efforts.
Best for
Runners who want one shoe that covers both daily miles and tempo work with some plated propulsion.
Avoid if
You want a dedicated race-day shoe or a plush, soft recovery trainer.
