| Pros | Fun, springy ride at all paces · Very comfortable, plush upper | 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 | Limited breathability in hot conditions · Heaviest shoe in the test | No bounce · Not as soft as expected · Soft outsole rubber may wear fast and lose wet grip |
| Avoid if | You want a lighter shoe with a more breathable upper. | You want a soft, bouncy shoe for faster running, or you mostly run on rough tarmac in the wet. |
