PositiveVery 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 · Road Trail Run – Sam, Jeff V · summarized
PositiveComfortable, 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 · The Trek – Anne K. Baker · summarized
PositiveAn exceptionally durable, highly cushioned ride that is particularly well suited to mud. Size carefully: she suggests ordering your size and a half size down. There is no rock plate, so it leans towards cushion over protection.
