How does the Brooks T4 compare to the Nike Zoom Katana Racer 2 in terms of fit and ride (particularly for a forefoot lander)? Also, how do the heels feel compared to each other (the lower the better for me)? I used to run mainly in the H Streets, have been favoring the Katanas recently, but am considering the T4s. Thanks.
are the kantanas flexible enough to run on your forefoot? i was thinking about training in them, but im not sure how stiff the plastic piece in the midfoot makes them.
In my opinion, they are. I was concerned about the plastic piece, but it doesn't bother me at all and provides a bit more structure than the the H Streets have, which is good for me coming off some posterial tibial tendonitis. The Katanas (not Kantanas; if you are talking about the MC shoe by that name, they definitely are not good for forefoot landers) have just a 7mm heel-to-forefoot drop, which is better for forefoot landers than most of the other shoes that are 10mm or greater.
