![]() ![]() We amassed around 60km whilst testing the shoe, and the grooved ridges are starting to wear down on the back half of the outsole, although its speedy performance still feels top end. Longevity wise, it’s hard to say for sure. We didn’t get to test the shoe in really wet conditions, but the grip proved totally sufficient on all types of urban surfaces - drain cover, cobbles, flagstones, asphalt. Other runners certainly hear you when approaching from behind. Anyone wearing a thicker pair of socks, or with differently shaped feet might find it struggles to overlap.įor some reason, it's quite noisy to run in - perhaps because of its lightly contoured lateral lugs, which mean a large amount of the outsole is in contact with the ground. ![]() Our only mild criticism of the shoe is that the tongue is ever so slightly too narrow, meaning it only just tucked under. A contoured heel pod combined with a strip of foam delivers secure comfort and lightweight heel lockdown, and the engineered mesh upper is light, breathable and comfortable. This makes it a much more versatile trainer that you could use for all types of road runs. It would also work for a slower paced runner, or a more relaxed jog, unlike the Alphafly or Vaporfly, which only really work for speedy runners and tempo work. Combine this with the Pebax midfoot plate for stability and poise, and we found nothing to fault in its energized ride. The ZoomX foam has the perfect level of spring which helps with performance and speed, and the more conventional stack heights mean a nice connection to the ground with no chance of rolling your ankle or feeling unstable while cornering. Right out the box, this shoe is a winner – zero niggles and no adjustment period to get used to what is a really natural ride. (Image credit: Fergus Scholes) Performance ![]()
