Lastly, the change in midsole materials could be very promising for model two of the Path Satan. In final 12 months’s evaluation, I incorrectly predicted that the dense Zenfoam midsole foam would final anyplace from 300-500 miles. Sadly, this has not been the case, and since that evaluation, I’ve put in a further 50 miles or so on the Path Satan and the froth feels prefer it’s deadening prematurely. Fortunately, the Path Satan 2 incorporates a lighter, softer, and appreciably bouncier Zenfoam materials, this time with a little bit of PEBA blended in.
The ensuing expertise is a shoe that’s noticeably lighter on the foot, bouncier by means of toe-off, and softer on descents. Additionally, I’ve a sense this midsole foam will final a bit longer. PEBA blends are identified for including a bit extra longevity to midsoles, and I think the Path Satan 2 shall be no totally different. Bravo, Tarkine. Or ought to I say, “Good on ya, mate?”
All these adjustments give the Path Satan 2 a considerably quicker, delightfully enjoyable expertise. With the Zenfoam midsole nonetheless airing on the agency facet, I feel it is a incredible possibility for runners in search of a fast, versatile possibility for coaching, racing, or tempo work from the marathon distance and beneath. On the appropriate terrain, the Path Satan feels gentle, quick, and enjoyable underfoot.
