What reviewers say
Reviewers agree it is one of the best and most versatile super trainers, light and bouncy enough for easy runs, long runs, workouts and even racing, with a more comfortable upper, better grip and excellent durability. The main reservations are the high price and, from RunRepeat, a fit that is not ideal for wide feet; Doctors of Running found it slightly heavier than the original.
