Runner's World Shoe Lab Test Results


We say: The new Switchback features the same midsole and outsole as the Premier Trail that won an RW Editor's Choice in January 2004, but this shoe sports a socklike upper that helps protect against trail debris. This new upper pattern has a unique fit over the top of the foot, where the laces cinch over the bootie, so try before you buy. It's one of the more flexible shoes in this guide, according to RW Shoe Lab tests, so it will move well with your foot. Recommended for runners with lower arches who are looking for a shoe that works well on roads or tamer city-park trails.
