Our read
Ride

Deep cushioning with a 5mm drop, now livelier thanks to a supercritical foam midsole that adds pop without going soft. Grip is the standout on rock and loose terrain.

Fit

Standard width only with a refined, more secure heel collar and gaiter integration; runs true to size with a moderately snug midfoot.

Best for

Runners wanting a well-cushioned trail shoe with aggressive grip for technical and long outings.

Avoid if

You need a wide fit or want a firm, ground-connected feel for fast runs.
