Back to Results Diadora Mythos Axeler Manufacturer: Diadora Price: $80 Reviewed in: Jul 2005 Shoe Guide Shoe Type: Neutral-Cushioned See Specifications We say: The Axeler comes with a thin steel cable that extends into the forefoot to help the shoe transition smoothly from heel-strike to toe-off. The cable is embedded in a plastic arch bridge that runs back into the heel to help cradle the foot for added support. Your feet should feel cool in this shoe as well, thanks to the venting in the outsole. Our Shoe Lab tests showed that the Axeler is responsive, making it a good choice for bigger runners with normal to high arches. Wear-testers say: "The shoe felt fast, so it was great for track work or short races." -John Demko, 36, San Diego "The shoe was light, but it took me several runs to break it in."-Kelly Breckenridge, 30, San Diego Be the First to Review this Shoe Gender: Female Shoe Type: Neutral-Cushioned Sizes: 5.5, 6, 6.5, 7, 7.5, 8, 8.5, 9, 9.5, 10 Weight: 10 oz.
