Runner's World Awards: Best Buy


We Say: A high-value shoe, the Cushion 16 has been updated with a more durable rubber outsole and a larger piece of cushioning foam under the heel. It also manages to be an ounce lighter than its predecessor. Our Shoe Lab tests showed the Response to be the most flexible training shoe in this guide. This flexibility means it moves more efficiently with the foot, providing a smoother toe-off, even for lightweight runners. We recommend it for runners with good biomechanics or high arches looking for a lightweight training shoe.

This shoe is an ultimate bargain for the amazing comfort and fit. They are good for any season except rains i guess. I run almost 40K per week and they feel great. Very light-weight, gives good comfort in the tempo runs. I recommend it for both casual and serious runners..

Just got back from another 4 miler. With close to 150 miles on my Adidas Resonses, they still feel great and my feet are not tired. For those who run like me (12-18 miles per week and an occasional local 5K or 10K) this has been a great bargan. Hope to purchase another pair to store up for the Spring season!.
