ProsBalanced FF Blast Plus ride that doesn't tire you out · Very stable: heel counter, gusseted tongue and midsole flares · Upper more breathable than the Cumulus 26, with a taller toe box · No rubbing over 18 km in heavy rain · Durable upper and midsole (about 800 km expected) · Thick 8 mm outsole, no visible wear after 35 km · Excellent value at ₹8,000 to ₹8,500Textbook daily trainer qualities · Moderate heel lock and comfortable padding · Snug midfoot with a wide, stable platform · True to size with good toe room · Amazing breathability · Balanced PWRRUN+ foam with energy return from 4:30 to 10:00/km · Outsole like new after 200 km, at least 800 km expected · Great value at ₹6,000–7,000
ConsRubberised EVA outsole may lose traction after about 400 to 500 km, especially in the wet · Less soft and bouncy than the Novablast 5 · Not for wide feet · PureGEL makes little noticeable difference · Not worth the ₹12,000 to ₹13,000 retail priceNot a speed shoe below 4:30/km · Spacious toe box may not suit narrow feet · Poor availability in India · Hard to verify authenticity online · Wet traction only slightly above average
Avoid ifAvoid it if you have wide feet, or if you mostly run in the rain and plan to keep it well past 400 km.Avoid it if you want a speed shoe for running under 4:30/km or a sub-3:30 marathon.
