Fit
The last of the Chaser contours to the foot quite well, and widens out nicely in the toe box. Our testers had difficulty with the lace and tongue mechanism; the laces don’t hold their tension effectively, and the tongue migrates laterally after just a few miles. 

Comfort
Light padding in the heel area holds the rearfoot comfortably, and good ventilation through the airmesh upper is effective for cooling and drying. The toe box is wide enough to prevent chafing and accommodate most foot sizes. Underfoot cushioning is impressive; for such a low platform, the Chaser provides comparable softness to shoes with significantly higher stack heights. 

Responsiveness
Proprietary QU!KFOAM midsole material is a blend of EVA and rubber encapsulated in PU; the Chaser has a nice combination of cushioning and responsiveness, and we felt good energy return from ground impact. 

Ride Quality
A graphite midfoot shank creates efficient transition of momentum from the rearfoot to forefoot, and flexible forefoot construction makes for smooth toe-off transition. The Chaser’s outsole is a “cloth rubber” compound that helps to further soften impact, but is only sparsely present in the rearfoot area; users with any degree of pronation will land predominantly on the QU!KFOAM. 

Speed
Many elements of the Chaser are ideal for speed: soft footstrike, energetic midsole, 9mm drop to accommodate some heel striking, and overall light weight. However, security of fit through the upper affects its overall agility.
