The Pacer 2 is the shoe Craft points at easy days. It runs on the softest version of the brand's Px Foam, 39 mm under the heel with a 6 mm drop, and this second version adds a two-layer engineered mesh upper and a reworked last that holds the foot better than the first did.
It suits you if you want a road shoe for recovery runs, slow jogs and the steady middle of an ordinary week — the miles where nothing has to happen quickly. Craft quotes 290 g at UK8, and at easy pace that reads as protection rather than drag.
It is not a workout shoe. There is no plate and no urgency in the ride, and you notice the weight the moment you try to run fast in it.
