These are daily training shoes designed for easy pace running, recovery runs, and longer slower mileage. With soft cushioning, plush comfort, and a lightweight feel, they’re perfect for runners who want a smooth, shock-absorbing ride. They also work well as a comfortable walking shoe for everyday use. In this review, I’ll break down how they perform and whether they’re worth the $140 price tag. 👋🏼 Want to help support my work but not sure how?

I created the Trail & Kale platform as a way to provide real, unfiltered truth about running shoes, outdoor gear, and more. As a professional running shoe reviewer with years of training and racing experience, from marathons to ultramarathons, every piece of content you’ll find here, my blog (https://www.trailandkale.com/), and my Instagram feed (https://www.instagram.com/trailandkale/) is grounded in countless miles of honest testing. No hype, no fluff — just genuine insights you can trust. Here’s more about my review process: https://www.trailandkale.com/our-review-process/ I don’t subscribe to influencer culture, I like to think that the influence I have on purchasing decisions, is merely a byproduct of the experience and knowledge that I bring to my reviews. My reviews are rooted in experience, practical testing (not poking shoes or cutting them up in a lab), backed by a true passion for the sport and a relentless commitment to being authentic with my readers and YouTube subscribers.
