“Passed on to NORMA by a runner in Brighton after a handful of early runs. We checked it over: sole grip as new, cushioning still fresh with no creases or leaning, top of the shoe clean with no marks or fraying. True to size, roomy enough for a thicker sock. Cleaned, original laces[, box included]. Barely run in, ready for easy runs, long runs and recovery days.”

Expert summary
Exceptional cushioning (173 SA heel) and bouncy ZoomX/Zoom Air combo excel for easy/recovery miles. Heavy weight (326g) and high stack (55mm) limit tempo/racing suitability. Stability adequate for long runs despite height. Not designed for technical terrain.
Ideal as, Recovery. High-mileage endurance runners with a substantial shoe rotation who prioritize leg protection and comfort on recovery days; runners weighing over 65kg who want maximum cushioning without speed work demands; athletes recovering from injury or fatigue who need a dedicated easy-run shoe; runners with wide feet seeking accommodating, plush trainers; those willing to invest in specialized recovery footwear rather than seeking an all-purpose daily trainer
Pros
- Exceptional shock absorption with a record-breaking 173 SA heel rating that protects legs during recovery runs and high-mileage training weeks
- Ultra-plush ZoomX foam creates a deeply cushioned platform that feels like running on a soft bed, ideal for runners seeking maximum comfort on easy-paced efforts
- Smooth rocker geometry maintains forward momentum despite the towering 55mm stack height, preventing the shoe from feeling awkward or clunky during longer distances
- Impressive torsional rigidity and firm heel counter provide unexpected stability for such a tall shoe, preventing excessive wobble during transitions
- Reliable traction score of 0.51 delivers solid grip on both wet and dry surfaces, making it suitable for year-round training
Cons
- Substantial weight of 326g makes the shoe feel heavy underfoot and unsuitable for tempo work, speed sessions, or runs exceeding two hours
- Zoom Air units lack responsive rebound due to surrounding soft foam that fails to properly compress the air pods, reducing the intended energy return
- Extreme softness creates a squishy, unstable sensation during cornering and faster paces, limiting versatility beyond recovery and easy runs
- Average breathability rating means the shoe may feel warm during intense efforts or in hot conditions despite its plush upper construction
