A budget-friendly, waterproof daily trainer for runners who want a soft, no-fuss shoe that handles rain and everyday miles rather than speed.
Soft Fresh Foam cushioning with a moderate 6mm drop gives a plush, easygoing ride suited to steady paces rather than fast running.
Runs small and narrow, so most people should size up half a size; offered in standard and X-Wide but with a snug default fit.
Runners wanting an affordable, waterproof shoe for wet-weather walking and easy daily runs.
You want a responsive or fast shoe, or run in warm conditions where the GORE-TEX upper traps heat.
