Our read

A plush, tall ultra cruiser for runners who prioritize all-day comfort over agility; the soft, high stack is the whole point, so expect long-haul comfort rather than nimble handling.

Ride

Soft, stable-feeling cushioning from the optiFOAM/optiFOAM+ midsole at a 6mm drop, tuned for steady long efforts rather than quick, responsive turnover.

Fit

Regular width with a secure quickLACE closure and Matryx upper; feedback is mixed, with many finding it true to size but a notable share reporting it runs large or wide enough to size down half a size.

Best for

Runners logging long days and ultras on smooth to moderate trail who want maximum underfoot protection with a moderate drop.

Avoid if

You run technical, steep, or muddy terrain where the shallow 4mm lugs and tall, soft platform limit traction and ground feel.
