A score out of 100 for how well reviewed a product is next to others of its kind. It rises with positive reviews and with how many there are; negative and mixed reviews take points off. The best in each category scores in the 90s.

Positive

After two years, the Thundercross is the only shoe that truly fits their wide foot.

Blog · Le Comparatif du Trail – Julian · summarized

Positive

Very good cushioning, comfort and grip on soft and loose ground over 160 km. Grip is weak on wet, compact rock, and breathability is limited.

Blog · Runner's World UK – Ali Ball, Rick Pearson · summarized

Positive

Gives the confidence to tackle uneven terrain while staying comfortable over several miles. It is like a lovechild of the Speedcross and Ultra Glide 2. Nothing flashy, and at 290 g it isn't for short races.

Blog · Road Trail Run – Sam, Jeff V · summarized

Positive

Comfortable, cushioned and grippy on soft ground. The front of the upper lacks hold on technical terrain, and traction on hard and wet surfaces is only average.

Blog · Believe in the Run – Michael Loutzenheiser, Matt Kucharski · summarized

Positive

'A winning debut.' A really fun, fast shoe for nimble runners who want more grip and protection than the Sense Ride. The Energy Foam rides comfortably without instability, and the 5 mm lugs are super aggressive.
