Description
Lightweight stability trainer for daily mileage and mild support. Upgraded cushioning and energy return versus predecessor. Highly durable, stable platform with a snug fit.
Controlled, stable ride with plush heel and firm forefoot. Predictable, confidence-inspiring platform for overpronators. Lacks spring and excitement, especially at faster paces. Snug toebox and moderate support define the overall feel.
Best for heel strikers needing mild stability and reliable durability in daily training. Handles easy runs and moderate distances with confidence. Less suited for long runs, racing, or runners needing a wide fit. Dependable choice for stability-focused daily mileage.
