I found them better than the Air Zoom Elite

4/5

Overall

I was looking for a Nike Air shoe that wasn't the Zoom Elite, because the Zoom Elites I've had all turned into bricks overnight eventually. The Winflo felt a bit softer to me, and the upper was a bit longer and more open in the toe box, comparatively. It felt like a lively shoe for a mid-foot runner, so I figured it would work. And it did for a few months. But I found that the last was a bit too curved, and I was pronating a bit more than I wanted - compared to Zoom Elite, and compared to the Adidas Energy Boost I was wearing for the support.

Winflo 5 ok

4/5

Overall

Great fit and very comfortable. Cushioning is a little on the soft side for me (personal preference) but I enjoy running in them and will use them as a one of my training shoes.
