A slightly heavier but more accommodating update to the Ride with wider heel and better outsole; a dependable, traditional daily trainer that is the antithesis of soft, hyped shoes like the Evo SL. — EDDBUD
Much softer and plusher than Ride 18 — feels more like a Triumph than a Ride, with a wider platform and lots of sole flaring. Good for those who want plush; less ideal for runners who liked the Ride 18's snappier feel.
Best for: Runners who want a softer, plusher daily trainer that feels more like a Triumph than the older Rides
A slightly heavier but more accommodating update to the Ride with wider heel and better outsole; a dependable, traditional daily trainer that is the antithesis of soft, hyped shoes like the Evo SL.
Best for: Runners wanting a reliable, traditional daily trainer with light stability and a bit below max stack
A back-to-basics daily trainer that does the fundamentals exceptionally well — stable, comfortable, and versatile without flashy gimmicks.
Best for: Runners wanting a back-to-basics, stable, comfortable daily trainer for everyday mileage and parkrun-style outings.
A daily trainer with max-cushion ride characteristics; good value at $145.
The best Ride Kofuzi has run in; a soft, bouncy, genuinely neutral daily trainer ideal for easy and recovery days.
Best for: Neutral daily training and recovery runs
A solid but unspectacular update to the Ride line that trades some of the previous version's snappy responsiveness for softer cushioning. Competent and comfortable for easy and steady miles but lacks the versatility and excitement of some similarly priced competitors.
Best for: Runners seeking a comfortable, reliable cushioned daily trainer for easy to moderate pace running.
A positive incremental update to an already excellent daily trainer — slightly softer, more comfortable, and a touch more uptempo-capable than the Ride 18 without overhauling the formula.
Best for: Versatile, reliable daily trainer for beginners and runners wanting a comfortable workhorse at a reasonable price.
Reviewers note: Improved toe-box breathability, low-profile ankle collar, better lockdown from eyelets starting further down toe box. Stretchy laces slightly long with standard bow; runner's knot ideal.
