Who It’s Best For
Neutral runners seeking maximum cushioning for daily training and longer efforts.
Runners covering easy to moderate paces with a focus on comfort and consistency.
Those needing a more accommodating fit in the forefoot because standard widths feel too snug.

How It Feels
The Fresh Foam X midsole provides deep, protective cushioning with balanced energy return — soft enough to take the sting out of repetitive impacts, yet responsive enough to give a smooth toe‑off. Landings feel plush and controlled, helping reduce stress on joints over higher weekly mileage.
The engineered mesh upper is lightweight and breathable, wrapping the foot securely without restricting movement. Enhanced padding at the heel collar and tongue boosts step‑in comfort, while the durable rubber outsole delivers reliable traction on typical road surfaces.

Impact discomfort on harder surfaces — the plush cushioning smooths out road strikes.
Forefoot soreness and tightness from narrow shoes — the D width brings welcome relief.
Foot fatigue during longer runs by offering a more protected, energetic ride.
Pressure points caused by constrictive uppers, especially for wider feet.
A desire for maximum cushioning without feeling unstable or overly soft.
