We say: The new Equalon uses a rounded heel to help guide heel-strike to the outside--and keep the rest of the foot there--in order to limit overpronation. To complement this beveled heel, the shoe also includes a firm piece of foam on the inside of the midsole for added stability (see below). The sockliner uses "memory foam" to provide a better fit, while the forefoot of the women's version features an extra flex groove for--you guessed it--improved flexibility. Recommended for larger runners with low arches.
Wear-testers say: "Excellent initial feel. Good for big runners who do high mileage."--Richard Hayhoe, 54, East Lansing
"Great cushioning and stability, but could be a little more breathable."--Andrea Pompa, 29, San Diego

I have been wearing this shoe for almost one year now. I am extremely happy with it, so much so that I bought two pairs this past month as I was told that it is going to be discontinued. If this is false, I would recommend this shoe to other consumers who slightly overpronate. .
