A plated long-run trainer rather than a racer. Comfortable, durable, and very good at what it is actually for.
■ Caution
At 42mm it sits just over the road limit — one of the shoes people most often assume is legal and is not.

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.
