I'm no small runner, coming in at just under 210 lbs plus I use orthotics and have a wide foot. All that said, I can't just toss on any pair of running shoes and go. These provide excellent heel cushion, but more importantly excellent midfoot cushion (where my step lands). Compared to the MR769's I just retired, these feel like they will stand the test of time better while still providing a soft ride.

For those of your using orthotic inserts, these accomodate Powerstep Pinnacle Maxx inserts with no problem or over-correction.
