Runner's World Awards: Best Update
The Overdrive has been updated with more durable rubber under the heel and sturdy outsole studs for better tread wear and traction. The women's Overdrive is built on a new last (foot form) that is narrower in the heel and wider in the forefoot to better fit the average woman. It also comes with more arch support than the men's version to address how female runners tend to pronate later in the gait cycle. We recommend both versions of this shoe for runners looking for an outstanding blend of protection and stability.
"I've worn Merrell shoes in the past, and they've felt like hiking boots; these felt like running shoes." --Kara King, 29, East Lansing
"While the shoe is lightweight and has a great fit, I would not wear it on longer, more technical trail runs." Sarah Vanderbeck, 24, Reading, PA
"I didn't care for the laces with the pull ties. I changed them over to the traditional lacing system." Dave Gallen, 45, East Lansing
