This shoe has a classic feel in terms of cushioning and drop. It reminds me of the neutral shoes that existed before the shoe companies started messing with the amount of cushioning and lowering the drop. I am a forefoot striker and this shoe works great! I compare it to the Pegasus (which I ran in for years until changes in the shoe messed with my achilles) and the Ghost (which I tried for about 2 years). The Ghost was more rigid and too much of a shoe for me.
