The extra-padded tongue keeps the flat, stretchy laces from irritating the top of the foot, even when pulled tightly. The upper is breathable, soft, slightly stretchy, and seems to conform around the foot like a gentle hug.(Drops on the higher end, like 10mm or 12mm, work best for heel strikers and can feel awkward for midfoot strikers.) The stack height and foam combo encourages an efficient stride. The 5mm drop from heel to toe feels balanced and works for both heel- and midfoot-strikers alike.Called Duratech-5000, the durable rubber is only placed in high-wear areas, leaving parts of the (lighter weight) midsole foam exposed. The midsole compound itself is lighter than some traditional EVAs, and the strategic placement of outsole rubber keeps things on the light side, as well. Despite the thick midsole, this shoe remains lightweight, especially for a daily trainer.
It’s made of an EVA polymer blend, which runs more firm and responsive than soft and squishy. A generous stack height-29mm under the heel and 24mm under the forefoot-absorbs impact and rebounds quickly to feel energetic.RELATED: New and Reviewed: The Puma Velocity Nitro 2 Pros Who It’s For: Runners who crave a lot of cushioning–albeit cushioning that runs more firm than soft–but who don’t want to sacrifice weight (or looks) in their shoes.
