Runner's World Shoe Lab Test Results


We say: Compared to the original Zoom Elite, this beefier update is more durable thanks to thicker Duralon outsole material in the forefoot. Also, the post on the medial (inner) side was moved a bit farther forward, and there's more material under the arch, both of which will help with heel-to-toe transition. Recommended for runners looking for a substantial performance trainer for longer tempo runs or races, or for biomechanically efficient runners who like a fast trainer with some support.
