- What people are saying
- Hosts consistently praise the cushioning and stability, with one crediting the shoe for saving a race 100 miles into an ultra. One host notes sizing up for comfort, and another flags uncertainty about performance on more technical trails.

Cal Seeley's review
The first time I ran in these I felt like I was flying. My go-to gravel/two-track and light single track shoe. Slightly bigger size makes them comfortable for me, but I'm a little hesitant to take them on more technical trails.
