ProsOne of the most comfortable shoes of the year · Very soft, protective Nitro cushioning · Wide forefoot and roomy toe box · Luxurious gusseted tongue and soft padding · Best-in-class grip, wet or dry · Premium build quality · Good breathability for a max-cushion shoe · Great for walking and casual wearBalanced softness with energy return at any pace · Same pep after 500 km · Outsole shows no wear after 500 km, great wet and dry traction · Wide forefoot and spacious toe box · True to size · Fully attached gusseted tongue and secure heel counter · One shoe for easy runs to the full marathon
ConsLaces too short for a runner's knot and loosen at speed · Feels heavy at faster paces · Not for fast running · Overpriced at ₹17,000 · Neutral only, not a stability shoeExtra lacing eyelet causes discomfort if laced too tight · Breathability drops above 25 km, more so in hot weather · High stack may feel unstable for absolute beginners · Online only, in limited numbers · Price could come down further
Avoid ifAvoid it if you want to run fast or need a stability shoe.Avoid it if you are an absolute beginner, since the high stack can feel unstable; I would pick the Ride 17 instead.
