Back to Results Puma Phylas Manufacturer: Puma Price: $100 Reviewed in: Dec 2006 Shoe Guide Shoe Type: Motion Control See Specifications We say: The Phylas is the firmest shoe in the guide. This update features the same midsole unit as past versions, including a plastic reinforced support device on the medial (arch) side of the shoe for heightened stability. It comes with a new, more breathable mesh upper. There's also additional protective padding in the ankle collar for enhanced softness and an improved fit. We recommend it for larger runners with flat feet who need plenty of motion control.
