Runner's World Shoe Lab Test Results


WE SAY: The updated Sanctuary is built on a new last that is narrower through the midfoot for a more supportive, "wrapped" fit. As with the Fila Reckoning III, the midsole under the arch is filled in, so the outsole stays in contact with the ground through the entire heel-to-toe transition. Fila has increased the shoe's stability by embedding a plastic support piece under the arch to keep it from flattening. We recommend the Sanctuary for normal-arch runners looking for a shoe with a glove-like fit.
