Love the cushion

It’s the midsole of course but it’s also the width. I haven’t run in anything else off road, except when racing.

Wore these shoes for speed very often, and they held up. They felt a little flat but they delivered.

Great shoe but not for the long haul
Anonymous runner · Jul 31, 2023
3/5
Overall
I have worn over 5 pairs of these shoes but they don't last much past 300 miles. The start to wear out on the bottom and are overall not as comfortable. Great for the 20 to 30 mile a week runner but if you are training for a half or full marathon I suggest buying something else. Other than this I really like them and thought they were comfortable and had good cushion.

My favorite shoe I've ever worn.
Anonymous runner · Jul 3, 2023
5/5
Overall
I was a structure wearer for years until that was discontinued. I then tried a variety of different shoes - Hoka Bondi, Nike Pegasus, Adidas supernova, Brooks Ghost. I had a few injuries during that time, particularly when wearing the Bondi. And then the infinity came out and I tried it. I loved it even more than the structure. When the structure returned I had no desires to return to it. The support and padding on the Infinity was just better in every way for how I run and I haven't had a major injury since.
