See my comments about the Kinvaras and Rockets at this post:http://samwinebaum.blogspot.com/2011/03/analysis-of-my-boston-marathon-shoe.html<br />I really like the Rockets for shorter faster work although I have run as far as 13 miles in them. They have the most responsive fastest feel of any of current shoes but for me they are not an everyday trainer or my marathon race shoe, leaning to the Bondi B or my brand new New Balance 890 for Boston. The adiprene foam really does have a great balance of snappy response with adequate cushion . I have a relatively narrow foot and Rockets are very hard to put on, have to loosen the laces all the way, might be low volume over the top of the foot. The overlay feels a bit strange but doesn't seem to bother me once underway or feel overly narrow, might be somehow functional to help mitigate overall narrowness? Not sure. There ie is no question Rockets are narrow form fitting shoes overall. For some I might worry about blisters in forefoot area near the overlay depending on how wide your foot is. Hope this helps.

Do you find the funky overlay above the toes on the Rocket bothersome? Maybe I'll try the Hokas one day...Lasivhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17833863003755071262noreply@blogger.com
