Pros | Comfortable, great traction, affordable, durable, packs out to fit your foot shape | Great weight distribution, stable architecture, breathable upper, well-tractioned | Comfortable, capable, strong midfoot lock | Amazing traction, very protective, durable outsole, specific fit | Ultra lightweight, spacious toe box, secure-fitting midfoot, incredibly sensitive |
Cons | Might be too cushioned for some runners, slightly less sensitive | Lace pocket is difficult to use, tight collar can bite into the ankle, pricy | Less rugged traction, zero-drop shoes aren't for everyone | High heel feels less stable, narrow fit won't suit everyone, lugs wear down on pavement | Pricy, less protective, less equipped for long distances |
