Our read

A do-it-all technical trail shoe for runners who want soft cushioning and weather protection over speed. The GORE-TEX membrane and deep lugs define it for wet, rocky conditions.

Ride

Soft optiFOAM cushioning with an 8 mm drop and activeCHASSIS guidance, backed by a 34/26 mm stack that favors protection over ground feel. It runs heavier at around 312 g.

Fit

Regular width with a precise, foot-hugging fit via the internal endoFit sleeve and quickLACE system. No wide option in this model.

Best for

Runners tackling wet, rocky, technical trails who prioritize waterproofing and grip and don't mind the added weight.

Avoid if

You want a light, fast shoe or run mostly in dry heat where the GORE-TEX membrane traps warmth.
