Runner's World Awards:
Best Update
We say: This update boasts some great new features, such as a higher rubber content in the heel foam to make it softer and more durable and an upper made with a seamless liner and fewer overlays to minimize blister risk. While deeper flex grooves in the forefoot improve the 755's flexibility, it's still one of the stiffer shoes in the guide, according to RW Shoe Lab tests. It also uses a midfoot transition bridge to give the shoe some decent support. We recommend this shoe for runners with high arches looking for a relatively stable trainer.
Wear-testers say: "Extremely comfortable, and lightweight."--Thomas Freese, 34, San Diego
"The shoe is light and well cushioned in the heel." --Amby Burfoot, 59, Allentown
