Our read
A plush, grippy trail cruiser for ultra-distance efforts where comfort and traction matter more than speed. Its weight is the trade-off for all that cushion and protection.
Ride
Soft, bouncy PWRRUN PB underfoot framed by firmer PWRRUN gives a cushioned but stable feel, though at 309 g it rides on the heavier side.
Fit
Standard trail fit with a secure midfoot; no wide version is offered in this model.
Best for
Long days and ultra-distance on mixed and rugged terrain where you want protection, cushion, and dependable Vibram MegaGrip grip.
Avoid if
You want a light, fast shoe for short or racing efforts, or prefer a firm, ground-feel ride.
