Overall

This shoe was my first go at stability shoes and it couldn't have worked better for me. I love the cushioning of the boost foam, it's well cushioned but not squishy feeling.

Very responsive. The Boost foam seems to provide good cushioning without feeling "Squishy". These shoes have been very durable; I have been able to get more mileage out of them before they felt like they had lost their cushioning ability.
