PositiveA softer midsole fixes v1's overly firm ride: zero-drop with real max cushion. It is peppy enough for pick-ups, and the fit stayed secure. After 100 mi there are only minor midsole cracks and the outsole is in good shape. The grooves pick up rocks, and it is still firmer than other max shoes.

PositiveRated A-. It does exactly what it is advertised to do: smooth transitions and a balanced, cushioned, comfortable ride. Neutral, but with heel sidewalls and a wide base. The upper is extremely comfortable for easy efforts, though wear socks because of some internal stitching.
