Our read
The long-distance Kipsummit: fully padded collar, tongue and upper, Fastech+ foam, and a Vibram outsole for traction. The page says it is built for the most extreme distances and up to 21% more energy return than before, and suggests a half size up for some runners.
Ride
Soft but dynamic Fastech+ ride.
Fit
Fully padded collar, tongue and upper; the page suggests going up a half size if you want more room.
Best for
Long trail days and ultras.
Avoid if
You want a light, low-profile shoe for short fast trail runs.
