It goes without saying that the fashion stakes are different this fall, but there are certain autumnal happenings you can still count on, like apple picking, pie baking, a certain spiced latte we may or may not order, and there will be walking—lots of it—including dramatic strolls in the rain while listening to Folklore, so it’s important to be prepared. “It’s super responsive and springy, yet the foam keeps it soft enough. After a month of running more than 100 miles, our testers report back their findings on features like fit, comfort, performance, and ride.
