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
"This shoe won't work if you have narrow feet and is better on longer runs." Julianna Sahusz, 23, Allentown
"I found this shoe to be comfortable yet sturdy." Dominique Lozano, 10, Allentown
"This shoe seems a bit soft for repeat long runs. I would not try this shoe in a marathon because the cushioning breaks down too quickly leave you with now support." Joe Hammond, 50, Allentown
