This update features only minor adjustments, as the award-winning original had a lot going for it. One concern testers had from the original was with the forefoot, which has now been shored up a bit with a DuraRyd layer to help out there, as well as in the heel where the effective crashpad is now a firmer density. The saddle offers the same support as the original, but upgraded linings and a plusher interior justify the $5 price bump.
TESTER FEEDBACK: “Good support upper. Might not be so good on irregular terrain. Allowed adjusting lacing for improved fit, nice feature.” 2. “Nice improvement on the original, light, tough, stable. I enjoyed the shoe.”
BOTTOM LINE: Light and stable with great flexibility and decent cushioning.
