Stack describes height; drop is the difference between heel and forefoot. These dimensions are not quality scores. Weights from different sizes are not precise comparisons of equivalent samples.

What to consider

The tempo category identifies a particular training proposition. Match the construction to a role in your routine rather than inferring a required pace from the name.

Try the size with your usual socks, checking toe room and secure hold. Foam names, plates and prices cannot replace this assessment. This page does not prescribe footwear or attribute injury prevention to the model.
