The Fusion is a basic, durable cushioning shoe with a good fit. The outsole is made from carbon-based rubber, and there is a layer of foam under the sockliner for a cushy feel underfoot. RW Shoe Lab tests show that it's one of the softest shoes in this guide. It's also built lower to the ground for a fast racing feel. Recommended for efficient runners with high arches looking for a basic trainer at a very reasonable price.
"I liked them as much after 200 miles as I did right out of the box." --Lance Blaskowski, 25, Allentown
"It had a nice internal feel with a snug heel and roomy toe area, but it seemed a bit too soft for long runs."--Joe Hammond, 55, East Lansing
"These shoes were generally nice to run in. They seem to wear well and stand up nicely to a big runner." --Scott Sugarman, 35, San Diego
"I would use this shoe as more of a backup pair versus an everyday pair. I needed to wear thicker socks and also put a pair of insoles in the shoe right from day one to help with my foot comfort." Denise Himmelwright, 36, Allentown
