Our read
Editorial interpretation from the specs and what we know of this shoe — not lab-tested.
Ride

A balanced, moderately cushioned ride from the Arnitel TPEE midsole that stays fairly firm and responsive over long distances rather than plush.

Fit

Standard-width, seamless Dyneema upper that fits snugly and true to size with no width options.

Best for

Ultra runners who prioritize a durable, lightweight shoe with reliable Vibram Megagrip traction and are willing to pay a premium.

Avoid if

You want maximum plush cushioning, wide sizing, or a rock plate for very technical terrain, or you're price-sensitive.
