A plated daily trainer built for tempo days and faster miles rather than easy jogging; the firm, snappy ride is its defining trait. Best for runners who want one shoe to handle both training and workouts.
Firm and responsive with a low-profile feel and a rockered, propulsive toe-off from the Pebax plate. Rewards a faster pace more than slow recovery running.
Generally true to size with a secure midfoot, though several reviewers report a narrow forefoot and some heel slip. A wide option is offered in the women's line.
Runners wanting a single plated shoe for tempo work and uptempo daily miles at a 5mm drop.
You want plush, soft cushioning for easy recovery days or have a wide forefoot sensitive to a snug toe box.
