This update boasts a redesigned upper that improves the shoe's overall fit. The eye row, where the laces run through the upper, has been shifted back from the forefoot to provide more toe room and reduce the chance of irritation where the shoe flexes. Also, an additional section of foam in the collar helps hold the shoe snugly around the ankle. The 1130 controls overpronation with a plastic midfoot bridge and a firm foam post on the inside of the midsole. Recommended for runners with normal to high arches looking for a good price on a great everyday trainer.

"This shoe was very comfortable in the forefoot area-my feet were supported, but had room to move a bit." Doug Hochsstetler, 41, Allentown

Snug and comfortable around the heel. Very ergonomic in design and extremely light. Also a very tough shoe.
