USER REVIEW BY David Randall

This shoe delivers on many fronts. It feels very comfortable on and seems to offer plenty of support, without being over-cushioned. The sole had enough grip for my off-road run, and I felt balanced on the road to and from the run.

Great resistance from the weather and the water resistant mesh kept me cool and dry. This felt like a solid and durable shoe that will stand the test of time – and trails. It’s also a flexible shoe and I felt I could adapt to the changing terrain without compromising my need for some stability.

The upper felt secure with good laces and tongue and I was reassured by the extra support around the toes on a rocky downhill path. This shoe was ideal for me as I have quite wide feet, need support and am a definite heel striker.
