| Pros | Firm, responsive and protective ride · Handles slow to fast paces · Durable | Wide, stable platform · Breathable mesh upper (fixes the Winflo 11's heat) · Gusseted tongue and strong inner lining · Excellent for walking and casual wear · Fair launch price |
| Cons | Lacks excitement at slower paces · Tapered, snug upper · Slightly overpriced | No bounce · Not as soft as expected · Soft outsole rubber may wear fast and lose wet grip |
| Avoid if | You want a spacious toe box and a breathable upper. | You want a soft, bouncy shoe for faster running, or you mostly run on rough tarmac in the wet. |
