I feel the cushioning in the mid sole results in less leg and back pain over long distances. While the shoe more stable than the Torin 8 for overpronaters it not adequate for a "stability" shoe. Think if they went dual density, soft inner and stiffer foam in areas to make it far more stable. An orthotic helps with this. Altra make a wide in this shoe all you need to do it widen the mid foot mesh. Shoe stretcher fixes this. People with wide feet need a stability shoe. Torin 8 didn’t make the cut. This shoe should have 150mm laces instead of 140mm. Fits great around the ankles and before the mid foot, no pain or blistering. Got better around better in the mid foot as I stretched the shoe and it broke in over a few days.
Perfect (for me) balance between weight, cushioning, and stability. I had been running roads in the Altra Forward, which I liked, but felt like my ankles were rolling a little. This show fixes that.
