How it performs
Comfort and fit
Generous 9.8 mm tongue padding, but a 71.1 mm toebox that limits splay.
Durability
The standout: just 0.5 mm of outsole wear in testing.
Value
At $100 it is among the most durable trainers tested, provided a firm ride suits you.
Traction
Adequate dry, below average wet at a 0.34 coefficient.
Breathability
Rated 2/5 — the ventilation holes are largely obstructed.
Style
Full 360-degree reflectivity, unusual at this price and genuinely useful for early or late runs.
