Maybe also in my imagination, but I think the color of the outsole also makes a difference.<br />Even with Vibram megagrip, I found the green version worse than the red or black.

While there were some things I liked about it ultimately I knew as soon as I took them off, they would be likely going back to the store for credit. And after wearing v3 (loved), v4 (the fit was weird but I managed) and not V% because it was way too tight, I was excited for this major update. For what it's worth, here I go:<br /><br />PROS:<br />-Love the new React on the trail! Bouncy and soft and almost wish there was slightly more on the Kiger. <br />-In some late spring sloppy, slushy, mnuddy Vermont trails the traction is MUCH better than the old versions. Not nearly as solid as my Sense Ride 3, but an improvement and I didn't slip it all, though from past WH experience avoided the wet rocks and roots.<br />-The colors weren't as bad in person and after one run they didn't look anything like the did when I put them on.<br />- Finally like the Kiger 6, it's a Nike that fits true to size! The forefoot opened up a bit on the run too. <br /><br />CONS:<br />-I'm not sure what terrain Nike made these for, but the stability is very questionable. Rolled my ankle once and for the rest of the run was very hesitant to push it anymore. Actually, while I sit here writing this, I'm fully aware of how sore my ankles are, something that never happens after a run. And while Vermont trails may not be as SUPER technical as some trails, they are not buffed out by any means and this isn't a shoe I would pick for dirt roads.<br />-The heel counter/cup is just not that comfortable. I'm not willing to test if it breaks in as it breaks my body in.<br />-Ankle cuff? No thanks. It keeps stuff out but the heat that built up in the shoe (because they are not that breathable at all) on a 50-degree day does not bode well for hot summers and humidity. I do not see this show drying well on your foot. And for me to have MORE stability and hold, you have to tighten things down and I just don't like that pressure on my ankle. <br />- This likely falls with stability, but the hard rubber outsole makes the shoe very tippy.<br />- Not great on the road. Hard and sloppy and a heel that seems to not function in tune with the mid and forefoot which do better.<br />-The mint toothpaste color and overall design while not a deal-breaker just makes these things look like something Nintendo designed. I have the Kiger 6 in the same color pattern, but it works so much better without that terrible blue.<br /><br />Ultimately I'm not sure what Nike was going for with this shoe and for me, it was a COULD HAVE BEEN. It seems way more gimmicky and I don't see how Nike Pros would choose this for racing, This shoe would scare me to death in rocky terrain. For comparison, I've been putting in more and more miles with the Sense Ride 3 which I like MUCH more than previous versions. While not as nimble, it's been more cushioned, more protective and a beast on all trail. ANd handles the road well enough. <br /><br />For Morgan. The Kiger 6 did get a slight update. The upper was changed slightly and for me has a much better fit and hold. More comfortable and a better lockdown. And a heel tab :) But other than that from what I can tell, the same.<br />Chrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09108489642680746325noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10529476.post-85695645860504695482020-03-25T10:45:04.454-06:002020-03-25T10:45:04.454-06:00RMS,

Just goes to show that designing shoes is a lot more than just plug and play - certain midsole materials work well at different thicknesses and poorly at others. My LRS owner loved the Triumph 17 as much as I did (my 2019 Shoe of the Year winner), but said the Freedom 3 was DOA for their store. He felt that PWRRUN+ works great above a certain stack height, but less than that it felt lifeless. You just never know.<br /><br />Marauder,<br /><br />For some reason Nike's stats (when they disclose them) are usually way off. Like Sam said, they frequently just focus on the midsole, which isn't even close to the whole story. Outsole, insole, strobel board - all underneath the foot but not midsole.Jeffhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01491871518212256938noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10529476.post-28464826031874426282020-03-25T09:41:22.463-06:002020-03-25T09:41:22.463-06:00Jesse,
