The Cesium uses a heel wedge angled three degrees outward to keep the foot to the outside and prevent the ankle from overpronating, or rolling too far inward as the foot hits the ground. The design eliminates the need for more support under the arch, resulting in a motion-control shoe that isn't as heavy and stiff as others in the category. Besides a new look, Nike has updated this version with a more snug lacing design. Recommended for overpronaters willing to try a different approach to motion control.
"The shoe's support was outstanding, but the heel took some getting used to." --Brian Boos, 27, East Lansing
"The forefoot cushioning could have been softer." --Sarah Melzer, 21, Allentown
"I really liked the fit around the heel. I usually have problems with blisters, but not with this shoe." Kristen Malikowski, 25, Allentown
