Back to Results Etonic Praya NC Manufacturer: Etonic Price: $95 Reviewed in: Feb 2007 Shoe Guide Shoe Type: Neutral-Cushioned See Specifications Disclaimer WE SAY: The new Praya features a plug of softer foam in the heel and forefoot, which helps make it the softest shoe in this guide, according to our Shoe Lab tests. Because it is built on a different last (foot form) than the Japara, Etonic's stability shoe, the Praya has a more snug feel around the foot. Another nice feature: the stay-tied laces shaped like sausage links. We recommend this shoe for lightweight runners with high arches looking for a well-cushioned training shoe.
