Closed cell is the specification that matters for a mat used in Indian heat: sweat sits on the surface and wipes off, where an open-cell mat absorbs it into the material permanently and eventually smells no matter how it is cleaned.

| Weight | 281 g | 3.4 kg |
| Warranty | 1 Year Official Brand Warranty | 1 Year Official Brand Warranty |
| Break-in | not published | Slippery when new, and needs a salt scrub or several weeks of use before it grips |
| Cell structure | not published | Closed cell -- the specification that decides hygiene |
| Drop | 10 mm -- a traditional drop that loads the calf and Achilles less than a low-drop shoe | not published |
| Grip when new | not published | Poor -- this is the most common complaint and it resolves with break-in |
| Lifespan | Roughly 500 to 700 km | not published |
| Material | not published | PVC, emissions-tested to OEKO-TEX. Not natural rubber, and not biodegradable |
| Midsole | React foam with two Zoom Air units | not published |
| Outsole | Rubber waffle, which wears fast on Indian concrete | not published |
| Stack height | 33 mm heel, 23 mm forefoot | not published |
| Support type | Neutral -- not a stability shoe, so it does not correct overpronation | not published |
| Thickness | not published | 6 mm |
| Why closed cell matters | not published | An open-cell mat absorbs sweat into the material, where it cannot be removed and eventually smells. A closed-cell mat can be wiped and genuinely sanitised |
| Why drop matters | It determines which tissues absorb load. Changing drop abruptly is a well-known cause of Achilles and calf injury | not published |
