Wanted a responsive trainer - this wasn’t it
ghutchis · Oct 2, 2018
4/5
Overall
Based on other review sites, I grabbed a pair of Asics RoadHawk FF on sale. For the price, the value has been good, since they’ve held up well.
But they never had the “bounce” of other current responsive trainers, and cushioning hasn’t been great.
So if you’re looking for a durable pair that doesn’t have much cushioning, you’re probably okay. For me, I’m looking elsewhere for my next shoes.

Lightweight and Durable 1-Piece Foam
Anonymous runner · Feb 6, 2018
5/5
Overall
The Asics Roadhawk FF uses a 1-piece foam construction to make up its midsole. From personal experience, I find it highly comfortable, and extremely durable. It does run slightly short, so I would suggest considering a half size up from usual.
