A running shoe that has been designed specifically for treadmill use. On a treadmill empirical evidence shows your feet land slightly differently (possibly due to your perception that you are in a more confined area) and your biomechanics are also different as the belt drives itself backwards rather than you pushing off forwards in the same way as with outdoor running. This shoe takes that into account in the way the cushioning and support are set up.

Out in July: The Pegasus is a versatile training shoe. The cushioning is good, the grip works on the range of surfaces you are likely to run on. The ride is good and allows you to increase the pace. The shoe is also stable so mild over-pronators could use this shoe.

You'll find a good mix of features on this shoe that mean it suits a range of people and uses. There is enough cushioning and support to make your running comfortable. But the shoe is not over stacked with features and has a smooth feel which means it feels light and flexible enough for some faster runs.

There's a springy ride in both the forefoot and heel of the Rider. It steers your foot through a good movement and has a smooth feel to it. The lightness and flexibility both contribute to this and make it a shoe you can up the pace in. A new upper for the start of 2008 is the key change from the Rider 10.

Out in July: Very light racing shoe and yet this actually packs a fair level of cushioning.
This is a very impressive motion control shoe. It has been given evolved for the second part of 2007 too. It offers a lot of support and guidance, as you would expect from a shoe in this category. And it gives good cushioning too, not only for heavier runners, but also for lighter ones. What really impresses though is that this is all achieved in a shoe that maintains a responsive feel too.

An ideal shoe for fell racing or fast sessions on a soft surface. The shoe has a modified upper to give better fit and less bunching when flexing at the toe. But the fundamentals remain the same. A good level of cushioning is backed up by strong stability, partly due to a well balanced midsole. Then the outsole has enough lugs for softer ground and non slip lugs for dealing with wet rock.
A great shoe that has been updated for the winter of 2007 to remove it's only real weakness. It is ideal for fell or trail racing, and for faster sessions on the grass. The ride is lightweight, flexible and fairly well cushioned for such a light shoe. The traction is good. In the past you might slip on wet rock but a new 'Wet Traction' outsole has directly tackled this criticism.
This shoe has a fairly firm ride but it feels comfortable for mile after mile. There is good cushioning and stability along with a responsive feel. It is the same shoe as the Inspire 3 but with an improved upper.

A shoe that offers a high level of both support and good cushioning. The shoe gives a good mix of a 'big ride' you might expect from a shoe at the top of a range but you still get a good feel for the ground. The upper has always fitted well but the new Dynamotion Fit keeps the heel area even more secure.

A new upper and Nike Plus compatibility has now been added to this shoe. Not as light and speed as some of the Elite shoes of old but this still allows you to push the pace more than a regular pair of support shoes.

Very light and responsive racer that is a favourite for those looking for minimalism with good cushioning.
Out in July: The shoe is light, well cushioned and highly flexible ride. The design of the midsole has been heavily influenced by the Nike Free shoes and the surrounding technologies. Some may find it a little too flexible. The way it encourages your feet to flex and work more can cause some soreness if you too much in the shoes too soon.

ASICS lightest racing shoe so you know you are not going to get a huge amount of cushioning, but a medial post means you do get more support than in many shoes at this type of weight.
A favourite for many runners looking for a lighter shoe to train in or to use in races. There is some support, which is not highly prescriptive, but then anyone with too many biomechanical issues wouldn't be looking to run far in this type of shoe. The Trainer is nicely cushioned given its weight, especially in the heel.

This shoe takes the Adrenaline GTS midsole tooling then adds a trail specific outsole and upper. You therefore get a good road-like feel to the shoe while still getting added grip and durability. What you don't get is an out and out trail feel.

While the Kinsei comes in at the top end of the ASICS cushioning line the Nimbus is going to offer more than enough comfort and protection for the vast majority of runners. It also has a more traditional feel. By 'traditional' we do not mean average though. The cushioning is good from heel to toe. The shoe is quite stable given it is neutral with your foot nicely steered through a good motion. The fit is nice and a well padded upper keeps things positive.

The Cumulus has been repositioned in the ASICS line with this shoe. The new running shoe is basically a neutral 2000 series shoe. Given the popularity of the 2000 series that would seem to be a good move. However, the quality of the Nimbus would tempt us to part with the extra cash and go for that.

One of the strong motion control shoes. It offers a lot of support and guidance without feeling harsh. It gives good cushioning too. So far so good. Then you find it has got quite a responsive feel too and that seals the deal.
This is a very impressive motion control shoe. It has been given evolved for the second part of 2007 too. It offers a lot of support and guidance, as you would expect from a shoe in this category. And it gives good cushioning too, not only for heavier runners, but also for lighter ones. What really impresses though is that this is all achieved in a shoe that maintains a responsive feel too.
A great shoe that has been updated for the winter of 2007 to remove it's only real weakness. It is ideal for fell or trail racing, and for faster sessions on the grass. The ride is lightweight, flexible and fairly well cushioned for such a light shoe. The traction is good. In the past you might slip on wet rock but a new 'Wet Traction' outsole has directly tackled this criticism.
A great shoe that has been updated for the winter of 2007 to remove it's only real weakness. It is ideal for fell or trail racing, and for faster sessions on the grass. The ride is lightweight, flexible and fairly well cushioned for such a light shoe. The traction is good. In the past you might slip on wet rock but a new 'Wet Traction' outsole has directly tackled this criticism.
Not a typical support shoe. The ride is fairly firm but does the job in terms of shock absorbing. This running shoe is also fairly supportive, it holds and giudes your foot well without feeling restrictive. Kind of a Wave Rider for over-pronators, but a touch firmer.

A light, well cushioned and highly flexible shoe that draws heavily on the development of the Nike Free 5.0 shoe. Some may find it a little too flexible. The way it encourages your feet to flex and work more can cause some soreness if you too much in the shoes too soon.

A new shoe that sees Puma upping their game in this support category. Featuring the same principles as the Concinnity in terms of shaping the heel to help control pronation, as well as using the M2D medial posting. But this has more cushioing. The upper fits well. You need to adjust the laces but once done the feel is good.

Both the Nimbus and the Cumulus have been steadily upgraded over the past few years. The Cumulus now sits where the Nimbus once was. It is an effective cushioning shoe in it's own right. The fit and ride are both comfortable, even if it is not as plush as the current Nimbus it is a good training shoe.

ASICS lightest racing shoe so you know you are not going to get a huge amount of cushioning, but a medial post means you do get more support than in many shoes at this type of weight. Carried over into the autumn winter range from the summer line.
A favourite for many runners looking for a lighter running shoe to train in or to use in races. There is some support, which is not highly prescriptive, but then anyone with too many biomechanical issues wouldn't be looking to run far in this type of shoe. The Trainer is nicely cushioned given its weight, especially in the heel.

There is a comfortable feel to this trail running shoe - the cushioning allows you to run on firmer ground while the sole grips on the off road. Water resistant uppers are fine but if water comes over the top you will still be sloping around in them.

A striking shoe from Mizuno that is aimed squarely at the fell/trail racing community. Lightweight and flexible it had good traction - although you will slip on wet rock - and the cushioning works to give better protection than on many shoes at this weight.
A really lightweight racing shoe with a highly supple feel. There is still some shock absorption on offer in both the forefoot and heel so the ride feels quite smooth.

Just like the XA Pro 3D XCR but minus the Gore-Tex upper - instead it is a quick drying breathable mesh.
