Our read

A versatile daily trainer for runners who want soft cushioning without much weight; the rocker-assisted, moderately-stacked ride handles most easy and steady sessions well.

Ride

A soft, cushioned ride with a 36/28 mm stack and 8 mm drop, helped along by rocker geometry for smooth transitions at easy to moderate paces.

Fit

Standard width only, and reported to run slightly small, so consider sizing up half a size. Engineered mesh upper offers a snug, breathable fit.

Best for

Runners logging easy and steady daily miles who prefer a soft, lightweight platform over a firm responsive one.

Avoid if

You want a firm, snappy shoe for fast workouts, need wide sizing, or want maximum stability underfoot.
