I work at Fleet Feet and I noticed that this is categorized in the max cushioned shoe department. I disagree. I think this should be in the mid cushion category as this is comparable to the Hoka Clifton. The only difference is that it has a better response then the Clifton. It has a very low drop of 6mm. The cushion is great with less weight. We have been selling them like hotcakes at the store.

I can’t go wrong with this type of shoe, especially with its durability, cushioning, and energy feedback whenever I’m doing roadwork.
