Overview
Hikers and trail runners who mix dirt paths with road stretches get a lace-up shoe with VERSARUN cushioning and a rubber outsole. A mesh upper over an EVA insole makes the build light and breathable.
Moving from road to trail and back without changing shoes is its strongest point, helped by a fairly cushioned ride. Rain, puddles and stream crossings will wet the mesh quickly.
Who it's for
Dry trail runs, light hikes and mixed surface loops suit this cushioned, breathable shoe. People who head out in rain or snow should look for a waterproof membrane.
Pros and cons
- Works on trail and road
- Moderate to high cushioning
- Breathable mesh upper
- Rated for hiking too
- Not water resistant
- Weight and lug depth not listed
Performance notes
Cushion comes from the VERSARUN foam, which takes the edge off rocky ground and pavement. Grip depends on the rubber outsole, while the mesh upper breathes well but offers no barrier against water.
