Runner's World Shoe Lab Test Results
The latest Avi is substantially softer than the previous version. More air has been injected into the new outsole rubber, resulting in more compression and greater overall cushioning. This hasn't decreased the shoe's exceptional flexibility, however, which testers appreciated. A few commented on the improved breathability of the upper, while others noted that the material felt rough on their feet. Recommended as a basic training shoe for efficient runners or as a racing shoe for runners who train in stability shoes.
