A plush, stable cruiser for runners who want maximum underfoot cushioning on road-to-trail miles rather than technical performance. Its high stack and stability bias define it more than any speed or agility.
Soft and forgiving underfoot with the H-Frame midsole adding stability to a very tall stack; the 5mm drop and heavy platform favor cruising over quick transitions.
Standard width only, with a dual-sided gusseted tongue and molded cage overlay for a secure, locked-in midfoot.
Runners on mixed pavement and non-technical trails who prioritize deep cushioning and stability, including heavier runners and those wanting a forgiving long-distance ride.
You run technical, steep, or muddy terrain, or want a light, agile, responsive shoe, since the 3.5mm lugs and 320g weight limit both traction and speed.
