A shoe earns a tag as soon as one reviewer recommends it for that kind of run; the count shows how many agree. Mentions include synonyms, so “recovery”, “zone 2” and “conversational” all count toward Easy.

The GTS 23 has become much firmer and feels clunkier, possibly due to a shift towards greater overall rigidity in the stability design.
