Some reviewers find the upper section of the shoe too snug for their liking and restrictive on wider feet.
It also makes the shoe quite hard to put on. For wider feet, advised one tester, it is best to go up a full size.
Adequate cushioning
Found in the underfoot is a thin layer of foam that offers adequate cushioning that protects the runner from hard surfaces, without adding any unnecessary weight to the shoe.
Also integrated into the thin, responsive midsole is a forefoot plate that augments the protection, while allowing the runner for a springier ride.

Finally, one professional reviewer wrote that if this speed-seeking spike fits your foot – and this wasn’t the case for all who tried it – the foot-wrapping feel is amazingly lashed and comfortable.
As a competitive XC speedster offered by New Balance, it hits a solid spot of cushioning and explosiveness for cross-country athletes.
