Our read

norda's most cushioned shoe, at 36/30mm. For runners who want more stack for long, fast days on all terrain.

Ride

Propulsive and supportive, as the brand puts it, with a 6mm drop.

Fit

An open-mesh Bio-Dyneema upper with a seamless knit collar.

Best for

Long trail runs and ultras where you want high cushion with stability.

Avoid if

You want close ground feel on very technical terrain; the 002 is lower.
