An undervalued daily trainer with well-executed Flight Foam Blast Max, top-tier outsole traction, and a reasonable weight that stands out for lighter runners who find the Novablast 5 too soft. — EDDBUD
A lighter, snappier, more versatile stability trainer with a firmer, bouncier ride, but the posterior-flared heel hurts the transition for heel strikers and holds it back as an everyday pick.
Best for: Runners who need stability and want a lighter, firmer, more versatile trainer that can handle some uptempo work, especially midfoot/forefoot strikers.

Doctors of Running notes: Slightly wider and higher volume than prior versions — roles switched with the Kayano. Normal-to-slightly-wide forefoot, normal midfoot and heel. Stiffer heel counter works well for runners who want firm heel hold.
