We Say: This shoe's unique midsole is made of superdurable, shock-absorbing plastic pods that function as an independent suspension system. Our Shoe Lab tests showed the GigaRide's midsole to be quite firm, however. The upper features seam-free mesh with plastic overlays that are welded onto the upper--not stitched--so there's little chance of blistering. Recommended for runners with normal to high arches who like a firm shoe with some serious design flair.
Wear-testers Say: "The shoe fit really well, but it needs a bit more cushioning." -Rick Grab, 31, Allentown
"I ran in the previous version and I haven't seen any improvement in support or cushioning." -Adam Rourke, 24, East Lansing

I love this shoe! I currently have over 400 miles on them and they are showing no signs of breaking down, they have gotten more comfortable with the more miles I put on them. I have high arcehs and this shoe fits like a glove...no more achy feet!.
