Responsiveness
On Cloud’s Running Shoes offer a superior responsiveness system that we feel is one of the shoe’s best features. With a lot of firm EVA cushioning, called Zero Gravity foam by the manufacturer, the cushioning is stable and will give you an extra spring in your step. So, you’ll get a lot of effective energy return with the design of the cushioning. And yet, the shoes are still flexible mostly because of their great overall design.

Comfort
On Cloud’s Running Shoes have a well-designed cushioning system that features an EVA foam midsole for responsiveness. That foam midsole is also made to help absorb shock while you run, and the nice rubber outsoles on these shoes also help absorb impact to prevent your joints and muscles from feeling that. You’ll get a landing that feels very cushioned each time you hit the ground, and you’ll get decent heel protection as well.

Durability
On Cloud’s Running Shoes offer a lot of durabilities, especially considering these shoes are so lightweight. Generally, you wind up trading off some durability the lighter your shoes are, but these shoes seem to have a nice design to help balance that out. The synthetic mesh upper is made to resist abrasions on the trails, which is a nice bonus. Plus, the outsole is made out of a durable rubber that also has carbon rubber features in higher wear areas to help extend the life of the shoe.

Value
On Cloud’s Running Shoes come with an inexpensive price tag, which makes them a nice option if you are shopping on a budget. With the nice, responsive cushioning system, the padding on the interior will bounce back and retain its ability to help you with each step. Also, the durability of the upper and the outsole design with carbon rubber features helps to extend the life of these shoes.

Responsiveness
These shoes will keep you going. One of the most attractive features of the Ghost 11 is the full-length crash pad that absorbs shock on any surface and provides you with a smooth heel to toe transition. The heel crash pad also takes stress and impact away from your joints and helps you to run more smoothly. This shoe is also outfitted with Omega Flex grooves that bend and stretch with your foot for natural foot movements. Depending on the size, each shoe weighs about 10-ounces each.

Comfort
The upper mesh of this shoe provides the user with a lot of breathability and stretch. The stretchiness of the material hugs your foot while keeping it comfortable and well-supported. The collar and tongue of the shoe are cushioned as well.

There is a removable foam insole that offers medium to high arch support. High energizing cushion. Even though these are sold as men’s shoes, Brooks has designed the cushion to be gender friendly and comfortable for any foot. The floor of the shoe features DNA loft cushion technology, along with BioMoGo DNA for optimal responsiveness.

Responsiveness
Hoka One One’s Arahi Running Shoes have a lot of great responsiveness in their stable design that will give you plenty of cushioning and support to help you complete all of your runs.

Also, the EVA foam midsole helps promote this effect, and also promotes significant energy return each time you land.

Comfort

Also, the heels provide a lot of support and you’ll feel comfortable even if you run for many hours.

Durability
Hoka One One’s Arahi Running Shoes are made to be a lightweight shoe, which means there is a bit of a trade-off with durability. However, the manufacturer has a few nice design features that help make this shoe last long considering its lightweight. One nice feature is the 3D puff upper, which adds a lot of protection to the shoe so it can take more abuse on the trails. Also, the outsole design helps extend the life of the shoe with its zonal rubber features.

Responsiveness
Saucony’s Hurricane ISO 3 are some of the most responsive running shoes on our list, so if responsiveness is a primary concern, these shoes might be for you. They feature a nice EVA foam midsole that is designed for stability and offers a lot of cushioning as well as responsiveness each time your feet hit the ground. Also, the extra stability designed into this shoe, like the heel counter and medial posts, also adds support and responsiveness to the shoe’s design.

You get a nice Tri-Flex technology design on the outside that helps resist abrasions and makes the shoes last longer. Also, these shoes feature carbon rubber in high-wear areas and a very durable outsole that also helps protect the outer area of the shoes.

Value

Responsiveness
These shoes offer an average responsiveness. They have plenty of technologies built into them, but most of them give way to the overall comfort of the shoes. These shoes are very stable and will help you to continue with a smooth gate and are a great option for over-pronators. However, the lack of responsiveness technology will force you to use your body a bit more and rely less on the springiness of the shoe. The patented wave groove technology provides support, responsiveness, and cushion.

Comfort
The Wave Inspire 15 offers specially placed mesh windows for optimal breathability, stretch, and comfort. Some reviewers have claimed they are so soft that they feel they are “walking on a cloud.” There is also an integrated sock liner for extra comfort. Each shoe weighs about 10.3-ounces, making them fairly lightweight. The midsole of the shoe uses U4IC technology with U4ICX technology in the heel, providing you with a dynamic ride and ultimate comfort.

Durability
So far, there have not been many durability issues with these running shoes. We are always happy to see a shoe with a rubber sole. Rubber can sometimes add more weight to a shoe, but there’s just nothing more reliable or durable than a rubber sole. The toe area of the shoe is also reinforced. The only small issue we have seen is that the mesh areas of the shoe can’t stand up to as much torture as the rest of the shoe.

Value
These running shoes are slightly expensive but seem to be very reliable thus far. This is not only a great, light, and comfortable running shoe but it is also a great running shoe for those who over-pronate. While we wouldn’t mind a bit more responsiveness and color options, we still believe this shoe is a great option for any man looking for a new running shoe.

Responsiveness
Adidas’s Adizero Boston 6 Running Shoes have a lot of responsiveness considering their design. These shoes are lightweight racing shoes, and that type of design doesn’t typically pack in a lot of responsiveness.

So, you will get a nice spring in your step with these shoes.

Durability

Durability

You also get a shoe that has a durable outsole with rubber that is made to resist abrasions and protect the outer areas of the shoe. So, these shoes will last you for some time.

Responsiveness
Saucony’s Kinvara 8 Running Shoes have a good deal of responsiveness designed into them since they feature both an EVA midsole and an EVERUN top sole. The EVA midsole in these shoes offers a lot of stability and a superior cushioning system that bounces back each time you hit the ground. Also, the EVERRUN top sole helps provide a lot of stability that works with the midsole to bring you a nice amount of effective energy return overall.

With support through the midfoot of the shoe, you get superior landing comfort while you run.

Durability
Saucony’s Kinvara 8 Running Shoes are designed to be a lightweight running shoe with a good cushioning system and effective responsiveness. One thing that is true of many lightweight shoes is that they don’t have as much durability packed into them. These shoes could have stronger outsoles to prevent excessive wear and tear on the shoes and a more solid upper design. While these shoes won’t wear out overnight, they just aren’t as durable as some of the other products on our list.

Value
Saucony’s Kinvara 8 Running Shoes come with an affordable price tag, which makes them a good product if you are shopping on a budget. They will give you a lot of comfort each time you land, and they offer a nice, well-designed cushioning system that will absorb shock and take some of the strain off of your body as you run. While they are a great running shoe, one thing we wish they had more of was durability in the design.

Responsiveness
Nike’s Free RN Running Shoes have a nice design that makes them quite comfortable because of their effective cushioning system. What you get is a stable shoe that has firm cushioning to help give you the responsiveness you’ll want on the trail. The midsole of these shoes does take away from some of the responsiveness, but the upper is designed to give you the stability you need to get that nice bounce in your step. That means that these shoes do well propelling you toward your goals as you run.

Comfort
Nike’s Free RN Running Shoes have a good cushioning system that features a full-length midsole in the shoe and is designed to help you keep going in comfort. You’ll get shock absorption from the cushioning as well as the durable outsole on these shoes, which also are made to absorb impact while you run. With their barefoot type construction, they aren’t as comfortable as shoes with a maxi mist design, but that’s been done on purpose because these shoes are made to feel like you have a natural gait. So, there is a bit of a trade-off with these shoes.

Durability
Nike’s Free RN Running Shoes are made to feel very natural, and they are also lightweight. Since they don’t come with as many features because of their purposely simplistic design, you won’t get the same amount of durability as you would with a heavier shoe or one designed with more cushioning. What you do get is a shoe that is meant to go fast and help propel you to achieve your goals. They won’t wear out immediately, but they certainly aren’t as durable as some of the other product options on our list.

Value
Nike’s Free RN Running Shoes come with an inexpensive price that makes them a nice value product considering what they offer. You get a well-designed shoe that feels very natural while you run and still gives you enough cushioning and support to absorb impact. Plus, these shoes are very responsive as well. While we do wish these shoes packed in more durability, they are still well worth the price.

Responsiveness
Nike’s Air Zoom Pegasus 34 Running Shoes offer decent responsiveness for their design. Since these shoes come as racing flats, and most racing flats don’t always offer great responsiveness, these shoes are about average, which is still great considering their style. They do offer a lot of effective cushioning and stability, and they also have a nice, natural feel when you run. They are quite comfortable, but they won’t give you the great spring in your step you might want.

Comfort
Nike’s Air Zoom Pegasus 34 Running Shoes are made with comfort in mind, and these shoes have a nice, thick cushion ST Eva midsole which really helps to pad your feet and absorb shock as you land.

These shoes have great technology for absorbing shock, and that will help you run longer and harder more often.

Durability
