Our read

A do-it-all lightweight daily trainer for neutral runners who want one shoe for easy miles and uptempo work; its calling card is a soft, bouncy ride at a genuinely low weight.

Ride

Soft and responsive underfoot thanks to the PEBA-heavy FuelCell foam, with a low-slung 6 mm drop and enough spring to shift into faster paces.

Fit

Race-inspired mesh upper with a streamlined, moderately snug fit; standard width plus a wide (2E) option is offered.

Best for

Neutral runners wanting a single lightweight shoe that covers easy daily runs and tempo efforts without switching pairs.

Avoid if

You want a firm, stable platform or maximal cushioning for heavy runners or recovery-focused mileage.
