Our read

A fast, well-cushioned ultra racer for runners who want a light shoe that can still handle technical terrain over long distances. The standout is its balance of low weight and generous stack height.

Ride

The XFlow Speed midsole pairs supercritical TPU and EVA for a responsive, well-cushioned ride, with heel and forefoot rockers that smooth turnover. The 34/28mm stack and 6mm drop deliver protection without feeling sluggish at 255g.

Fit

Built on La Sportiva's Tempo Ultra last with a wide forefoot and a knit collar that locks the ankle and blocks debris. Runs roomier than typical La Sportiva shoes, though only a standard width is offered.

Best for

Ultra and long trail races on technical or mountainous terrain where you want real cushioning and grip without carrying extra weight.

Avoid if

You have narrow feet or want a lower, ground-feel ride, since the wide last and tall stack won't suit everyone.
