The Summit Unknown is quite narrow upfront and a high performance trail racer shorter distance shoe. I found it somewhat more cushioned (due to the lugs) than its cousin 1400 both having a RevLite midsole whereas Gobi has Fresh Foam. The Unknown has a rock plate which does not get in the way and works effectively. It was a better all around shoe for me leaning towards trail than the more relaxed Gobi 1 where the emphasis is more on door to trail than trail. It makes an excellent road trail hybrid if you like a firmer yet not ridiculously so ride. It is more stable than the 1400 and fast on all surfaces.

The 1400/SU Flight Gen material is pretty firm, firmer than Fresh Foam for certain. The 1400 is built on a somewhat narrow racing last, also, but both the 1400 and SumUnknown offer Width options. Therefore, I would say Gobi 3 for easier miles and SU for faster miles, but I would love for someone with more first-hand experience to weigh in.Machttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13232977644479667246noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10529476.post-44899350713443571892019-04-16T18:11:08.680-06:002019-04-16T18:11:08.680-06:00How would you compare this to the Summit Unknown? ...How would you compare this to the Summit Unknown?
