Verdict
The lightest marathon shoe ever sold and, on the evidence, the fastest. At 138g it is closer to a track spike than a road shoe.
■ Caution
The reason it is on this list twice over: at £450 with a competitive life around 120km, this is comfortably the most expensive shoe per race you can buy. Run the numbers before you buy — that is what the calculator is for.
Where to buy
No retailer we can read publishes a live price for this shoe, so we cannot check your size. The links below go to each retailer’s own search, where they show the current price and what they hold.

9 retailer checks failed on the last run, so their prices are missing rather than wrong.
Prices are captured when the site is built and stamped with the time of that check. We never rank a retailer by what it pays us; where a link earns a commission it is marked sponsored and the price you pay is unchanged.
