Runner's World Shoe Lab Test Results


We Say: This update is a tank. It features a new, breathable-mesh upper with a substantial arch wrap designed for a more secure fit. What makes this shoe interesting is how much cushioning it has. According to the RW Shoe Lab, it's the second softest shoe in this guide, because of a thick sockliner that lies above a three-millimeter foam insert, both of which can be removed to make room for orthotics. Lab tests also show the Minado to be the least flexible shoe in this guide. A perfect shoe for bigger runners with flat arches looking for a soft feel.
