Unfashionable and quietly good. Firmer and more controlled than most of the field, which suits heel strikers and heavier runners.
■ Caution
Does not have the top-end pop of the ASICS or adidas flagships. You are buying predictability.

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.
