Back to Results Fila Flow Providence II Manufacturer: Fila Price: $100 Reviewed in: Jun 2006 Shoe Guide Shoe Type: Neutral-Cushioned See Specifications We say: Thanks to its nifty new upper, the updated Providence fits much better than its predecessor. All the overlays have been removed from the forefoot to accommodate a broader range of foot types. Inside the shoe, the forefoot is lined with seamless mesh, which reduces blister risk. The spaces cut out of the midsole underneath the Flow cradle give the shoe added cushioning and also work with the new upper for enhanced breathability. Recommended for runners with normal to high arches looking for a breathable, well-cushioned shoe. Wear-testers say: "Plenty roomy in the forefoot without being sloppy." --Lisa Taylor, 31, East Lansing "Comfortable, but the heel fit could be improved." --Judie Gupp, 45, East Lansing Be the First to Review this Shoe Gender: Female Shoe Type: Neutral-Cushioned Sizes: 5.5, 6, 6.5, 7, 7.5, 8, 8.5, 9, 9.5, 10, 10.5, 11 Midsole Characteristics: Breathability under Flow cradle and added cushioning Weight: 10 oz.
