Pros: Carbon + suspended foam + thick cushioning provide solid shock absorption and rebound, reducing impact on joints and making landings gentler.
Reminder: “Super shoes” are designed for racing and efficiency, so they’re not ideal for beginners to use as a daily mileage trainer. It’s better to rely on stable/cushioned trainers for most runs and save this one as a PB‑chasing weapon.

Pros
Propulsion + rebound → The combination of foam, carbon plate, and Bounceboard gives a “flying” sensation while running.
Thick cushioning + good shock absorption → Reduces stress on the feet, knees, and joints during long distances or fatigue.
Lightweight + good upper lockdown and heel fit → Suitable for races or key training sessions.
Limitations / Things to note
Stability isn’t the strongest — Some reviews point out that lateral stability and forefoot stability are weaker compared to certain trainers or stability shoes.
Soft foam + thick forefoot → For very short sprints or explosive high‑cadence efforts, responsiveness may be lower than pure speed‑focused shoes.
Racing‑spec design → Not ideal as a high‑mileage daily trainer (faster wear + fatigued rebound). Recommended to use in a rotation.
