Ellie ★★★★★

Wore these for a 10k and barely noticed my feet the whole time. That new midsole really is noticeably softer than my old pair, though the redesigned tongue took a run or two to settle in.

Ruby I. ★★★★★

Got my usual size and the fit is spot-on, but the real win is the redesigned tongue—no more bunching or digging in on long walks. The new midsole is noticeably plush underfoot, softer than any previous pair I've owned. I've already ordered a second color.

Olivia ★★★★★

The new P35 midsole honestly surprised me—my feet feel like they’re landing on clouds during my morning runs, and that 19% softer cushioning is noticeable right away. The redesigned tongue sits perfectly without any slipping, which makes the whole shoe feel incredibly secure from the first step.
