Back to Results Diadora Mythos Road Manufacturer: Diadora Price: $85 Reviewed in: May 2005 Shoe Guide Shoe Type: Stability See Specifications 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-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 Be the First to Review this Shoe Gender: Female Shoe Type: Stability Sizes: 4.5, 5, 5.5, 6, 6.5, 7, 7.5, 8, 8.5, 9 Weight: 10 oz.
