Critic consensus
from 5 reviewsReviewers praise the shoe for its remarkably low weight, responsive PEBA-based cushioning, and locked-in laceless fit. However, the steep price tag, unpadded heel collar, and lack of adjustability may deter some runners. It works best as an innovative, fast-feeling trainer for uptempo efforts, long runs, and non-plated racing.

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.
