Midsole and running feel
The material «FF Blast Max» is used in the midsole. According to the manufacturer, it is softer than classic EVA foam, but should remain dimensionally stable and offer high energy return. The geometry is high. The foot is therefore further away from the ground than with classic, flatter training shoes.
The shoe is designed to be significantly springy without being unstable. A noticeable propulsion should be created when rolling. The drop is eight millimetres, which is within the usual range for training shoes.
Upper material and fit
The upper is made from a lightweight, structured mesh. According to the manufacturer, it is breathable and should provide the foot with sufficient support without being restrictive. The insole is softly padded. A knitted collar is designed to make it easier to put on and keep the heel in place. According to the manufacturer, the fit is neutral and suitable for normal foot widths.
The weight of the shoe is 255 grammes. This puts it in the mid-range of comparable models.
