tldr; Mixed reception for responsive, cushioned. Comfortable daily trainer. Good for tempo runs.

Best praise vs top criticism for Atreyu Base Model
“It’s hardly a zero drop zero cushion shoe with no structure. Some of us don’t like running on large soft stacks, etc, and that is fine. I don’t like the Kinvara but I love the Atreyu Base model. I can’t stand high stacks and squishy foams but if you or anyone else does that’s fine by me”
