What reviewers say

Reviewers agree it is an excellent max-cushion trainer with a soft, bouncy ZoomX ride and a comfortable upper, best for easy and long runs. RunRepeat found it heavy for its class, with a tight toe box and a high price, while Running Shoes Guru thought it light for its stack but noted soft, less durable outsole rubber.
