YouTube · The Run Testers · Jun 2, 2025 · summarized
PositiveTwo testers, one with about 60 to 70 km (mostly easy 10 to 12 km runs, longest 20 km) and the other with about 20 miles on easy, runnable trails and roads. Both found the fit spot on and very comfortable, and one called the midsole balanced enough to feel good on tarmac. That tester found the grip fine on most mud but not on thick, wet mud, and the other saw no worrying early wear. Both see a versatile all-rounder.

Positive4.5/5. More flexible and dynamic than v14, with a slightly roomier fit, near-perfect hold and good stability. Grip on cobbles is better but not there yet. A light, balanced shoe for 40-60 km races. Possible heel rubbing.
Blog · The Runner's Basecamp – Cody Jett · summarized
PositiveShines on technical, rugged trails under ~15 miles: nimble, responsive and dependably protective without being plush. The non-Vibram PWRTRAC rubber 'holds its own'. Not a max-cushion ultra cruiser. He wonders what took him so long to try it.
Blog · iRunFar – Travis Liles · summarized
PositiveA versatile trail shoe that handles road sections of long races too. The PWRRUN+ sockliner adds comfort and spring and doesn't pit out. After 100+ miles in wet, gross conditions there are no mesh tears.
Runners are mixed. Several report it wearing out early, with soles splitting or fabric wearing through, and a couple found it too soft for a trail shoe.
