    My foot doesn’t have an arch so I need stability shoes for running, didn’t want heavy slow shoes for track season, found these and they help so much with stride and are far lighter than any other stability shoes

    Curves in a little too narrow--the Saucony Axon 3, much cheaper, has a wider flare. They should marry these two models!

    If you are over super plush shoes, like a firmer ride, with a quality midsole that will last forever, this is the shoe.

    A bit on the firmer side, but amazing for upbeat runs.

    Very comfortable and well cushioned with hardly noticeable stability features. Very durable 350+ miles on first pair with room for plenty more. Good wide toe box 

  • At last the super foam in a support shoe
