Expert Review Sources

  • Doctors of Running : 86.3 / 100 — « Across our race & marathon testing on road, the Ortuseight Aeroflash supports the gait cycle with a stable Ortuseight proprietary foam base and smooth forefoot rocker (167 g). Its upper lockdown and outsole durability on road make it a standout contender at €120. »
  • RunRepeat : 85.6 / 100 — « The Ortuseight Aeroflash successfully blends modern cushioning with the aggressive feel expected from a sprint spike. We were surprised by how soft the midsole feels underfoot, yet the stiff plate keeps every stride quick and powerful. We also found that the upper feels lightweight, breathable, and built with nice materials. However, the plush cushioning is a love-it-or-leave-it feature, and the race-focused platform may feel too demanding for frequent training sessions. »
  • RunMag : 83.3 / 100 — « In Ortuseight's race & marathon lineup, the Aeroflash strikes a convincing balance between impact protection and lively turnover (167 g, a 0.7 mm drop). Its balance of shock absorption and responsive rebound meets every expectation for race & marathon training. »
