Shelby Farrell's review

This one has a slight rocker with good energy return. The width feels dialed, not too narrow and not overly wide. The shoe feels extra durable and stable, with nice heel padding that makes it comfortable on longer runs. What stood out most is how predictably it tracks on uneven terrain. It never felt tippy. Even with the cushioning, the shoe still feels grounded. You don’t lose that connection to the trail.
