Customer Reviews

Great Shoe for the Heavy Runner
I am a 20+ miles per week runner with two marathons under my belt in the last year. Being 6'1" and 220 lbs plus a "heavy stepper" doesn't make it easy to find a shoe. I have tried most brands of "true" running shoes (Asics, Pearl Izumi, Brooks) plus many Nike running shoes always opting for the "cushioning" model and have liked other shoes as long as I keep my distance down. Once over 5 miles, I start to feel the difference. Once over 10 miles, no other shoe even compares.

I have ran with Mega-Bounce for over the last 2 years.

Pros -
Best cushioning heal to toe of any shoe I have ever tried.
The cushioning doesn't effect performance. It's not like running with a down pillow attached to your foot, more like a spring.
Durability is awesome.

Cons -
Inherent in the design that makes it the "best cushioning" is the height of the shoe off the ground. This height makes increases probability ankle twists/sprains.
Narrow toe box. But I do have a fat foot. The '09s are better than the '08s because the mesh is more flexible than the stiff nylon, but still could use some improvement or at least a width size choice.

Great running shoe
I'm not much of an expert on running shoes but I really like the feel of these shoes. Great grip and support. The best running shoe I have ever purchased. Only negative is that if you run in gravel or rocky terrain, rocks will get caught in the shoe and be annoying and sometimes poke into your heel. So all I do is avoid running on rocks.

Great shoes for running & walking!!
I got those shoes thru amazon (great service, they did arrive earlier than expected). The shoes are very confortable, with great support for running & walking, and they look great (I got the white with silver one)with jeans or shorts. I will recommend to buy them.
