Runner's World Shoe Lab Test Results


We Say: Though Diadora has been selling running shoes in the United States for 15 years, the company is better known for its soccer gear. The Mythos could change that. Diadora placed a plastic arch wrap in this shoe to stabilize the foot at heel-strike, plus there's a new steel cable that extends into the forefoot to help with toe-off. Recommended for bigger runners with normal arches or average-size runners who need extra stability.

Wear Tester Reviews

Wear-Testers Say: "The Mythos provided excellent midfoot support. The fit in the heel and arch was very comfortable." -Scott Harrison, 28, East Lansing

"I liked its close-to-the-ground profile, but it lacked cushioning for longer runs." -Joseph Hammond, 53, East Lansing
