Our read

Built for ultra runners in sandy, dusty terrain who want plush cushioning and full debris protection in one package he defining feature. Premium priced and specialized rather than a do-everything trail shoe.

Ride

A dual-foam midsole with a PEBA/EVA top layer and 41/35 mm stack gives a soft, cushioned ride over long distances at a moderate 6 mm drop. It's a heavier shoe at roughly 312 g, so it prioritizes comfort over speed.

Fit

Fits true to size with a standard width; the integrated gaiter and internal sleeve create a secure, wrapped hold around the foot and ankle.

Best for

Long and ultra-distance runs on mixed and dusty or sandy terrain where the built-in gaiter earns its keep.

Avoid if

You want a light, fast shoe for short efforts or you run mostly on technical terrain needing deep, aggressive lugs.
