Our read

A versatile all-weather trainer for runners who mix pavement and gravel and want dry feet without committing to a full trail shoe. Its 2.5 mm tread caps how rough the terrain can get.

Ride

Soft, cushioned landings with an 8 mm drop and a 35/27 mm stack that stays comfortable on hard surfaces. The shallow 2.5 mm lugs handle gravel and packed dirt but not loose or technical ground.

Fit

Runs true to size with a regular width and a secure, snug internal cradle. Most users find the width fine, though narrow-footed runners get a slightly better fit than wide.

Best for

Runners splitting time between roads and gravel or smooth trails who need waterproofing for wet-weather training.

Avoid if

You run genuinely technical or muddy trails, where the shallow lugs and road-leaning design will not grip.
