Best for
Best for mid-to-forefoot strikers looking for a bouncy, fun tempo trainer that also handles daily miles and marathon-paced long runs. It shines at threshold efforts where the foam and wave plate come alive, delivering a poppy, responsive ride. Not for wide feet, heel strikers who found the V2 unstable, or runners who need a stable platform. Best used on smooth roads for tempo/threshold sessions and can double as an enjoyable daily trainer or long-run shoe for those willing to adapt to its aggressive geometry.
