Our read

A dependable everyday workhorse for runners who want soft, durable cushioning without any performance frills. Its weight makes it a comfort-first choice rather than a fast one.

Ride

Soft, cushioned ride with a moderate 6mm drop suited to steady miles. At 299g it feels planted and stable rather than lively or quick.

Fit

Standard fit through a structured engineered mesh upper that holds the midfoot securely. The page also lists narrow, wide, and extra-wide options despite the standard-width spec.

Best for

Everyday easy and long runs where soft cushioning and durability matter more than speed.

Avoid if

You want a light, responsive shoe for tempo work or racing.
