We evaluated both shoes across five key categories: aesthetics & construction, fit & feel, flexibility & responsiveness, heel stack & cushioning and durability & price. Whether you’re looking for a stylish daily trainer, a lightweight option for tempo runs or a reliable all-purpose shoe, one of these models is likely to fit your goals.
