| Pros | Soft, max-cushion midsole · Very comfortable | About 70–80% of the Novablast 5 feel · Soft, shock-absorbing foam with some bounce · No fatigue on a half-marathon long run · Very breathable, light engineered mesh upper · Light at about 250 g (UK 8) · Wide forefoot · versatile enough to pick up the pace |
| Cons | Narrow forefoot · Little energy return | Outsole visibly worn after about 25 km · Foam likely to last only 300–500 km · Narrow heel can wobble for heel strikers · No firm heel counter · not for flat feet or overpronation |
| Avoid if | You have a wide forefoot or want a bouncy, energetic ride. | Avoid it if you have flat feet or overpronation, or if you heel strike and have weak ankle stability. |
