Anyone else tried the Fila 06 Redemption or Corsa Setta? The first is a neutral trainer and the second is a racer.They both have good arch support and are very soft and cushioned. The fit is even from heel to toe (their footworks system, feels like running barefoot on a cushion.) I don't work for Fila, but when I find a good shoe (s) -- which is rare these days, compared to the past 20 years -- I want to share the news. They run true to size though, unlike most shoes, so keep that in mind.
I've run in the Redemption and really like it. It has a very smooth ride for lack of a better term and fits great. It is one of the best feeling shoes I've had in a long time. I think it will take some time but I think Fila will start making some headway into the market in the next few years.
I mostly agree with your description of the Corsa Sette - "barefoot on a cusion" is about right. They invite comparison to the Nike Free.
Good arch support: there's a lot of arch in this shoe, and to me it seems like a bigger and less defined hump than most. Which is fine with me, it's just different from most running shoes.
True to size: meaning, for me at least, I could/should have gotten a half size smaller than in most running shoes. I wear 7.5 in many street shoes, 8.5 most running shoes, and 8.0 probably would have been better for me in the Corsa Sette. They're not extra wide, they just run longer than most (or seem to, maybe it's really more about the free-form fit?)
have not worn the corsa sette, but the redemption is a great feel--very, very smooth. the volante is gonna be a good one as well: lower profile, lighter than the redemption, hugs the foot like a sock.
bump, anyone else on these two shoes... I'm interested.
it's not those two, but i've done a few runs in the Flow Sanctuary and i like it a bunch so far.
Pair of Sanctuary 2's on sale, for 1 penny, on ebay, size 11.

I just ran in the Corsa Sette this morning for the first time and loved it! It's got a lot of cushion, I plan to use it for training runs, actually!
I've been a fan of the old Flow for a long time, would like to see their current line do well.
