Our read

A versatile door-to-trail daily trainer for runners who want cushioned comfort and stability without a heavy build. Best on smoother trails and roads rather than aggressive technical terrain.

Ride

The ultralight EVA midsole with a 31/25 mm stack and 6 mm drop feels plush and stable thanks to a wide platform. The moderate 4 mm lugs favor smooth trails and hardpack over deep mud.

Fit

Standard width only, with a padded collar, stay-in-place tongue and midfoot webbing for secure lockdown. No wide option for runners needing more toe-box room.

Best for

Runners logging easy and long daily miles on mellow trails and mixed road-to-trail routes who value cushioning and stability.

Avoid if

You run technical, muddy or rocky terrain, where the shallow lugs and absent rock plate leave you underprotected.
