In reply to Arvind. Do you have a wide or narrow foot, and do you prefer a soft or firm sole?

Hello Peter,

I’m looking for a shoe which i can use for jogging on a synthetic track as there’s one close to my home. My goal is loose weight and get back in shape. I weigh around 203 lbs and my sedentary life style for last 3-4 years have put me out shape..i currently have a pair of aspics which i intend to replace as they are hard on my knees and lower back. Appreciate your help.

In reply to Peter Larson. I like the look and it's lighter 162 grams (5.7 oz) but like you said not major changes.

I wouldn't recommend if there will be a lot of rocks, roots or gravel. Not much protection.

By the way Pete, are these shoes in your view more comparable to the Newton MV2 or the Saucony Hattori in terms of amount of cushioning? Thanks!

I ran 6 miles in this shoe without socks and the raised rim around the margin of the non-removable sockliner caused a painful blister and hot spots along both of my feet. I have been running sockless in Inov8 180s and had no problems. I was also disappointed with the firmness of the sole and was hoping for more flexible material. Personal preference. I am trying the Inov8 150s next.

I've ran in the Mizuno Wave Universe 3 and found that the shoe was a little too thin for me. Just not enough cushion specifically if I wanted to take the shoe offroad. I have also ran in the Asics Pirahna SP3 and felt that shoe had the perfect amount of cushion both on and off road.

Can you comment on how the cushion (in the forefoot) of the MROO compares to the MWU3 and the APSP3?
I love your blog! Thanks for your time!

In reply to Ram Hari.

I'd worry about the lack of traction and grip on grass/trails, but otherwise they are similar to an XC flat.
