PositiveA comfort-forward, soft but springy racer for hard-packed trail and gravel roads: 10 comfortable, responsive miles out of the box and no durability issues near 100 mi. It's the priciest shoe on their list, niche, and not great on uneven or slick terrain.
Of the 8 reviews with a clear verdict, 75% are positive, 13% mixed and 13% negative. The praise mentioned most is fast. The most common complaint is blisters.
The complaints reviewers mention most: blisters (1 review), narrow fit (1 review) and wears out fast (1 review). For example: The Rocket X Trail's toe box rubbed their little toe on a 2-mile treadmill run, so they hope to return it.
