Runner's World Shoe Lab Test Results


We Say: Designed as a basic lightweight cushioning shoe, the new Stratus boasts full-length durable foam in the midsole and Gel in the heel and forefoot. The upper has few overlays and a snug, racing-inspired forefoot fit. It's also built low to the ground with deep groves in the forefoot that make it the second most flexible shoe in this guide. We recommend the Stratus for biomechanically efficient runners looking for a lightweight, no-frills cushioning shoe for training or racing.
