Back to Results Nike Air Equalon Manufacturer: Nike Price: $130 Reviewed in: Nov 2006 Shoe Guide Average Reader Rating: 4 stars (1 review) Shoe Type: Motion Control See Specifications We say: The new Equalon uses a rounded heel to help guide heel-strike to the outside--and keep the rest of the foot there--in order to limit overpronation. To complement this beveled heel, the shoe also includes a firm piece of foam on the inside of the midsole for added stability (see below). The sockliner uses "memory foam" to provide a better fit, while the forefoot of the women's version features an extra flex groove for--you guessed it--improved flexibility. Recommended for larger runners with low arches. Wear-testers say: "Excellent initial feel. Good for big runners who do high mileage."--Richard Hayhoe, 54, East Lansing "Great cushioning and stability, but could be a little more breathable."--Andrea Pompa, 29, San Diego Average Reader Rating: 4 stars (1 review) Write a Review 4 stars This shoe is very comfortable to run in. Good cushioning and good traction. Not quite as stable as other motion control shoes..
