Our read

A do-it-all trainer for runners who mix pavement and gravel paths and don't want to swap shoes; its shallow lugs make it a versatile commuter rather than a true trail tool.

Ride

Soft, cushioned landings from the optiFOAM midsole with an 8 mm drop that suits a moderate everyday pace on hard and mixed surfaces.

Fit

Secure sensiFIT wrap that runs true to size for most, though a notable share of testers find it slightly wide.

Best for

Runners who start on road and finish on gravel or hard-packed paths and want one soft, cushioned shoe for both.

Avoid if

You run genuinely technical or muddy trails, where the shallow 2.5 mm lugs won't grip.
