The cushioning is soft and smooth without feeling 'squishy'. The ride is very smooth with a flexible, yet guided, feel to it. Good protection and comfort. The upper has a good fit and breathability. Nike+ compatible. New colourway going into 2008.

A highly protective shoe that has a really smooth ride, two Gel units in the heel get the cushioning off to a good start and that then continues through to the forefoot and toe off. The IGS system helps guide your foot without feeling restrictive.

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.

This is an impressive cushioning shoe from adidas. The ride is very smooth and cushioned. The fit is nice, anyone who has been put off by narrow adidas shoes in the past need not worry, these have a nice roomy toebox but snug feel to the heel and midfoot.

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. New Colourway for Spring/Summer 2008.

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 popular lightweight and it is easy to see why. There is a well cushioned midsole, both in the heel and forefoot, the shoe feels quite stable, and the upper gives an airy and comfortable feel. New colour for Spring/Summer 2008.

Really light and fast shoe. If you are serious about speed, and that is more important to you than protection, take a look at this one.
|
|
 |
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.

Puma have had a gap in their range at the top end of the cushioning line. The Eutopia fills it well with a soft to springy feel and a responsive ride.

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 cushioning. The upper fits well. You need to adjust the laces but once done the feel is good. New colourway for spring/summer 2008.

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.

The upper is Gore-Tex to keep the weather out. The outsole is aggressiveness to keep your grip on more demanding surfaces. The overall feel and ride of the shoe is such that it feels good on stretches of harder ground. Ideal for the kind of trails most people would be venturing out on.

A well cushioned and comfortable shoe without any undue bulk.

Less support than the Structure Triax but a fairly comfortable shoe, particularly if you like a slightly lighter, faster feel to your shoe.

This is a good choice if you are looking for a supportive shoe that is set up for faster running. The support sits around the midfoot and the weight of the shoe is lower than average (300g) so it is suited for midfoot striking, getting up on your forefoot and upping the pace. New colourway for spring/summer 2008.

This shoe now has a far softer smoother feel to the ride. It has now been given a rounded area in the strike zone of the heel in the same way as the Concinnity and Magnetist. Softer materials near your foot also enhance the comfort.

This shoe now has a slightly softer feel to the midsole. It is a light and quite fast ride rather than being a highly protective shoe. So if you are a lighter runner or looking for a shoe for faster training this is more your cup of tea.
