The cushion and midsole are super comfy, and the rocker likes to keep things moving forward. I would say that the fit is true to size, with plenty of room in the toe box for the toes to spread out a little bit. I tested this shoe out on a pretty muddy and slush covered trail (which seems about the only option currently). The lugs on the shoe aren’t super deep so, I was sliding around a decent amount. The shoe itself seemed to drain water pretty well since I didn’t notice any squishing sounds coming from each step after running through the puddles. Due to the lack of depth in the lugs, I would categorize this as mostly a door to trail shoe or light single track. Another small problem I would point out is the tongue does not come up super high compared to most other trail runners I have. While I usually don’t use the last lace hole for a lace lock system, I could see how using the upper eyelet could cause problems with the shorter tongue. Overall, I really look forward to putting more miles in this cushioned shoe once it dries out more!
