SUMMARY |
Soft cushioning, smooth ride and moderate support. Choose this if you want a premium feel under foot, not too bulky and only need a standard amount of support. | Plush and very supportive shoe. Choose this if you need a lot of support for very flat feet, but you also want the plush upper feel. | A little bulkier, but super stable. If you use an orthotic or have stability issues, then this is the high mileage shoe for you. | Responsive and very supportive. Runners used to a firmer/faster feel under foot will love this shoe and it has a lot of support for flat feet. |
