I took the RC5000 out New Balance 1600 Mens Online for a first run today ¨C did 7.25 miles in them on roads, and did my best to mix up speeds a bit. If my first run is a good indicator of what future runs in this shoe will be like, I¡¯m going to absolutely love this shoe. The sole has just the right of softness for my taste ¨C comparable to a Saucony Kinvara if you shave the midsole height of that shoe down a bit. The Mizuno Universe is a firmer shoe, and is not as good a match for my legs on asphalt. New Balance RC5000 Sole The upper of the RC5000 is really nice ¨C it¡¯s extremely thin and the internal surface is quite soft. The cuff around the ankle collar is lined by a very soft synthetic material, with just a bit of cushion behind the Achilles. The interior is where this shoe really trumps th NB 1600 Unisex Factory Outlet e Mizuno Universe. The Universe is lined by a somewhat rough mesh, and the ankle collar is made of a plasticky material that gives me blisters behind my Achilles if I run in them without socks. The RC5000 feels much better on a sockless foot. Conclusions I purchased a pair of the original Altra The One a few months ago (they were on sale at Amazon), but never wound up running in them. The fit was a bit off, and I¡¯d heard reports about them turning people¡¯s socks and feet green. I wound up selling them on Ebay since I¡¯d heard rumors they were going to be replaced and putting time into a review thus made little sense.altra-the-one The original Altra The One I¡¯ve had mixed luck with New Balance shoes lately. I loved the 1400v2, but was underwhelmed by the 890 v4. I bought the MT00v2 and wound up returning them because they felt a bit to snug/pointy at the front of the toebox, and the Fresh Foam 980 has a lot of potential but is also problematic for me due to being too pointy up front (full review coming soon). Thus I¡¯m a bit wary of both of the shoes below due to potential fit issues. My problem with Altra i New Balance 530 for Sale n the past is that most of the shoes I¡¯ve tried were too firm and too stiff. The original Instinct and it¡¯s sequel (Instinct 1.5) were good examples ¨C I enjoyed both shoes for casual wear, but the full coverage rubber outsole, firm midsole, and lack of flex grooves made the sole feel like a slab under my foot. I felt similarly about the Torin even though it was softer, and never ran much in it. Of all of the Altra shoes I¡¯ve tried, I got along best with the Superior New Balance 420 UK Online , mainly because it flexed better than most of the others. |
