Key Features & Materials

• Plate: Integrated nylon SpeedVault plate designed to optimize turnover speed and stability without the rigid feel of full carbon fiber.
• Geometry: RapidRoll rocker profile to facilitate smooth, fast heel-to-toe transitions.
• Upper: Triple Jacquard warp knit upper engineered for enhanced breathability, cooling, and a secure midfoot lockdown.
• Outsole: Strategic rubber placement for traction and durability on pavement.

Sizing and Length

• True to Size: Most runners find it fits true to standard size, aligning well with typical Brooks sizing and other major running brands.
• Length: Provides adequate length to prevent toe rubbing or front-of-foot discomfort during extended efforts, though a few reviews mention a slightly tapered front that may prompt wider-footed runners to consider trying half a size up.

Upper and Lockdown

• Triple Jacquard Warp Knit: The updated upper material offers a plush, breathable, and more comfortable wrap than previous iterations.
• Heel Security: Features a rigid heel counter and ample padding in the rear collar that locks the heel firmly in place without causing irritation.
• Tongue Design: Utilizes a standard, partially gusseted padded tongue that stays securely centered and reduces lace pressure across the top of the foot.

Best Uses
