Runner's World Shoe Lab Test Results

We say: The Ultra comes with more midsole cushioning foam--three separate layers, in fact--than any other shoe in this category. If that sounds like a lot of shoe, it is. The Ultra DMX is one of the heftiest neutral-cushioned shoes, which is fine for bigger runners who want a lot of beef under their feet.
Bottom line: If you're after exceptional midsole cushioning, the Premier Ultra DMX delivers.
Recommended for: Efficient runners; underpronators; and heavy runners seeking maximum cushioning.
Lab Report:

Responsiveness: Low (mushy, transition isn't smooth)

Cushioning: Moderate (firm rearfoot DMX Foam cushioning)
Wear Tester Reviews
Wear-testers say: "The heaviness of the shoe was a disappointment, but I found it comfortable and well cushioned." --Jim McNevin, San Diego "I didn't like the bulkiness of the upper. I felt like I was running in snow shoes." --Michelle Wallace, San Diego
