Extremely good value at the price and a really nice ride. The Progrid adds to this feel (an upgrade from the Mk 3).

You don't really need to do much work on a product that is already very strong. That is exactly the case with the Hurricane 10 being evolved to the 11 - no radical changes and everyone stays happy.

No longer are there versions that are for 'moderate' and 'ultimate' support. But the Omni 8 does a very good job that will satisfy the majority of over-pronators.

A shoe that had us excited when the first version launched has been updated. Incredible responsive while still giving great cushioning and guidance.

Don't let the clean design make you think this shoe doesn't offer much - it is very effective, well cushioned and nicely responsive.

Incredible stability - Best Value I've ever bought
This shoe has proved to be the best value I've ever bought and I've avoided aggrevating any previous injuries or niggles (namely ITB Sundrome). Highly recommended by me - for upto 10k training they have been perfect. I'm medium-heavy build 14st and the wide fit 2E has given me the room at the same time preventing any blistering or hot spots too.. Better still MADE IN UK!

Great neutral shoe
Good responsive cushioning. Well constructed upper. Only problem is that outer gums up when off road - bring back the triangular lugs.

Overrated
Too spongy and unstable. The plastic mid-foot shank didn't seem to do anything. The cheaper Ride is a much better shoe.

in response
a very good technical shoe with excellent grip descending, contouring and ascending.
mine dry out always in super quick time: firstly i always clean them with water and a nail brush to get the worst of the mud off. i then take out the insole and tightly pack in scrunched up newspaper. in a warm room, away from direct heat, the newspaper will absorb most of the moisture (i leave them overnight). i then remove newspaper and any remaining moisture will have disappeared by the time of the next evening's run.

A light shoe wanted
I have not had them very long and only worn for a few speed training / short runs. Are very light and comfortable but feel i could have done with next half size up. Left toe rubs end of shoe which is painful. Felt ok when tied on in shop. I am a very light runner, 47kg.

super comfy
Soft, plush coshioned shoe. Trained for and ran my first half marathon in them. Love these work horses! Although they are a tad heavy and unresponsive on the forefoot push-off due to all the cushioning. Suitable for anyone who loves soft cushioned feel underfoot.

mixed blessings
a bit tight across the forefoot. collar rides too low and somewhat too firm. shoe lacks stability a tad. used to wear adidas supernova, which fit just fine after getting used to the somewhat high heel. on the other hand, the shoe offers plenty soft ride. solid traction. cool design.

A golden standard in short distance competitive running
I am making use of these shoes in interval trainings and in competition since 2007. Besides their distinctive design and low weight these shoes are perfect for runners that prefer a rather direct feeling with just a little cushioning and that have no strong need to stabilize their foot.
The only flaw is a rather loose forefoot as your toes have more than enough space in these shoes.

comfy but not long lasting
this is my second pair, was given these as a replacement because my first pair wore out after 2 months- 20-30 miles a week. the same thing has happend to these, these are very comfy to wear so its not all bad news. i weigh 160lbs so im not a heavy runner, i will not be buying these again.
