Runner's World Shoe Lab Test Results

We say: This staple in the stability category has been updated with a new upper design for a better overall fit--especially in the forefoot. The midsole has also been overhauled. In the heel, for example, Nike has inserted a softer but more durable crash pad and decoupled the outsole for improved cushioning (our RW Shoe Lab tests confirmed this). Nylon overlays connect the laces to the midsole for a better arch fit. Recommended for runners with normal to low arches looking for a supportive, well-cushioned shoe.
