Our read
A trail supershoe co-created with Thomas Cardin: carbon plate, SCF foam, a sock-construction upper and Vibram Megagrip Litebase. The page pitches it for rolling ultra trails such as UTMB and Western States, and says it works on shorter distances too.
Ride
Propulsive, responsive ride from the carbon plate.
Fit
Sock-construction upper that keeps out debris, with an elastic band on the tongue for the laces.
Best for
Fast ultra and long trail races on rolling terrain.
Avoid if
You want a cushioned everyday trail trainer or very technical terrain.
