Where these numbers come from
Manufacturer-published specifications compiled in the ATHLO+ Shoe Lab, powered by iRUN Singapore. These are specs, not our own test results, and nothing here is ranked or recommended. Figures are quoted at the maker's sample size and vary with yours.
The Shoe Lab is built with iRUN Singapore, whose specialists fit runners day in, day out. The specs here are compiled with them — and the shoes are in their stores if you want to put a pair on before you decide.
