What runners say
“The cushion did not disappoint, but this shoe has way more snap than I had expected.”
“With the new PWRRUN+ cushion, it's responsive and doesn't feel like you're sinking into the ground with every step.”
“The heel is very padded, so any sprinting in will cause heel slip.”
“The cushioning felt hard out of the box, but after 30 miles it broke in and feels very nice.”
“It feels like you start to sink down into the cushion, which is disappointing.”
“Very soft underfoot with a durable outsole that lasts the life of the shoe.”
“The upper is overbuilt and has a sloppy fit.”
“I've been running faster in this shoe than I had in my previous daily trainer by quite a bit.”
“These shoes also started to hurt the outsides of my feet a few miles in.”
“Going much under 8 minute pace felt impossible.”
“It has lots of rubber on the sole and plenty of bouncy cushioning underfoot.”
“You don't feel the weight of the shoe as an everyday trainer.”
“This shoe is responsive and quick.”
“It feels incredibly plush and comfortable.”
