Our read

A do-everything cushioned daily trainer for runners who want soft, durable comfort for high-mileage weeks rather than speed. The story here is Infinion foam, aimed at resisting the compressed, worn-out feel over a shoe's lifespan.

Ride

A soft, cushioned ride with a moderate 6mm drop, tuned for comfort and energy return over long easy miles rather than snappy turnover.

Fit

True-to-size fit with a contoured, perforated mesh upper; the source lists multiple widths (narrow through X-wide) even though standard is the confirmed spec.

Best for

Daily easy and long runs where comfort and midsole durability matter more than a fast, responsive feel.

Avoid if

You want a firm, ground-connected or race-oriented ride, or a low drop close to zero.
