William X. ★★★★★

These are noticeably softer underfoot than my last pair, and the new midsole really does absorb the pounding on longer runs. I was worried the extra cushion would slow me down, but the ride still feels responsive when I pick up the pace.

Eli F. ★★★★★

The redesigned tongue is a game changer—it stays put all day and doesn’t dig in, even on long walks. That new midsole’s softness is real from the first step, yet I never felt unstable on uneven pavement. Definitely my new go-to pair.

Steven ★★★★★

The redesigned tongue makes such a difference—no more pressure across the top of my foot, even on longer walks. The EGOTM P35 foam feels noticeably springier underfoot than the last pair I had, which is exactly what I wanted.
