introduced the Durham into the UK, a shoe that has been a US favourite for a year. Theres absolutely nothing fancy about it, as befits a shoe in Nikes core Bowerman range; its simply designed to provide maximum stability with ample cushioning. (It also has
motion control models it is noticeable. The rearfoot sees improvements over previous New Balance big-guy shoes, as well. There’s an ultra-stable Rollbar attached to a rearfoot collar for rigid stability. There are also three firm densities of EVA
in the rearfoot (the four tubes protrude from both sides of the midsole) without making it bulky and overdesigned. Equally importantly, for the first time in a decade, a Max shoe has a footbridge across the medial side for added stability. Theres also more foam
for maximum durability but the medial post has been extended two-thirds of the way down the shoe, for better stability. And it still has a relatively high heel, which some runners like because it helps to ease strain on the calves.As before, a second density
at preventing stone bruising. Both the rear- and forefoot are quite broad, and there’s a small medial post, but as the shoe flexes in the midfoot, stability could be an issue.In short There are a lot of trail shoes around at the moment, and the Thielsen probably
studs, a softer, better-gripping outsole rubber, and the option of narrow and standard widths.Like Walsh, Felldancer makes three models: a core training shoe (the Challenger); a racing shoe (Racing, 256g, £52); and a support version (Extreme, 352g, £61
