A cushioned trail shoe that most runners get on with immediately. The recurring theme across generations is that the upper and midsole wear faster than the price suggests.
This entry is written from the 3 sources listed at the bottom of the page. The numbers are our editorial estimates drawn from that material, not measurements, and no statistical sample sits behind them.
On the evidence gathered here, yes. 74% of owners say they would buy it again, and satisfaction is still 7.6 out of 10 two years in. Owners routinely report 600km or more from a pair.
Roughly when the midsole stops giving back what it did. The shoes still look fine, which is what makes the replacement feel early.
Midsole compression is the real end of life, not the tread. Upper tears at flex points on rocky terrain. Fit changes between versions catch loyal buyers out.
Owners routinely report 600km or more from a pair. Sentiment across the ownership period stays close to flat, which is rare: it reads 8.4 out of 10 in the first week and 7.6 two years later.
Worth it for: Trail runners wanting maximum cushioning; Long days on mixed terrain; People moving from road to trail. Think twice if: You want ground feel; You need one pair to last years; You dislike refitting with each new version.
