What Reviewers Say
Lightweight and responsive, these shoes deliver noticeable speed gains and energy return that runners praise for races and hard workouts. The cushioning feels bouncy yet supportive, helping reduce fatigue during long distances. Size up half a size—fit runs snug, especially in the toe box. Note that the carbon plate design can trap rocks on certain surfaces, and the shoes produce a squeaking sound when walking.
