PositiveOnce he ignored the heel and dialled in the fit, one tester really enjoyed it: the foam and Carbitex plate felt quick and zippy, and the outsole was secure on technical descents. The heel still isn't right for the others, sitting low and roomy and letting in rocks until heel-lock lacing fixed it.
Blog · iRunFar – Molly Schmelzle · summarized
PositiveThe underfoot feel, performance and tech are a cause for celebration: Ego Max rim, Ego Pro core and a Carbitex plate excel on dirt and inspire fast running. Vibram Megagrip is reliable. It rides best at or near race pace, so she'll keep it for 50K-and-under races. The heel still needs grippier lining to stop slippage.
Of the 7 reviews with a clear verdict, 86% are positive, 0% mixed and 14% negative. The praise mentioned most is fast. The most common complaint is narrow fit.
The complaints reviewers mention most: narrow fit (1 review). For example: Promising on paper, but mixed in practice: it's light, grippy, has a wide toe box and suits zero-drop lovers. Yet it lacks rebound for a carbon-plated shoe, the cushioning is limited, the upper feels restrictive, and the heel buckles.
