Reviewed specifications

Intended use: Daily trail training and ultra-distance use.
Construction: Arnitel TPEE blend, Dyneema upper, Vibram Megagrip/Litebase outsole. The manufacturer’s “soleplate” means outsole; propulsion-plate status is not explicitly stated.
Manufacturer specifications: 268 g in US M8.5; 232 g in US W8. Claimed drop: 5 mm.
Measurement caveat: BITR identifies the published 26/21 mm as midsole height, before outsole and insole. It is not directly comparable with complete-shoe stack figures.
Independent test: strength: iRunFar found dependable traction and steady cushioning during repeated long runs.
Independent test: limitation: Several BITR testers experienced heel or ankle rubbing; one reported broken skin. Check collar contact before long outings.
