How this score was built

  • runrepeat.com Independent review 8.0

Each source is re-centred against its own historical average, then weighted by tier and type. Full methodology.

What people like

  • Built-to-last outsole (only 0.5 mm wear in testing)
  • Stable, firm ride for neutral runners
  • Plush upper with 9.8 mm tongue padding
  • Full 360-degree reflectivity

What people don't

  • Poor breathability (2/5)
  • Firm midsole (27.0 HA) lacks plushness
  • Narrow 71.1 mm toebox limits toe splay
  • Below-average wet traction (0.34)

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.

Current-generation replacement for the previous model in this line. Specs and lab findings from RunRepeat testing, retrieved 2026-08-01.
