Overall
6.77/10
Ride
6.0/10
The most comfortable and stable ride, with FF Blast Max foam. However, the muted midsole feel makes it less exciting, especially on longer runs.
Design & Comfort
7.8/10
A soft and plush upper provides a cozy, comfortable fit. Feels great on foot, but the outsole rubber could be more durable.
Value
6.5/10
High-quality construction overall, but the less durable outsole and muted ride reduce its value at this price.
My verdict
The most comfortable, structured shoe in this test, for short runs.
