HEAVY SUPPORT, LIGHT FEEL

Even the best shoes can’t turn a severe overpronator into a neutral strider. But the AdiStar Control makes trompers feel like bounders. Sure, it offers a wide base, rock-solid medial posting, and a beveled, decoupled-heel crash pad that will serve heavier runners or severe overpronators. But it feels more like a fast stability trainer. The secret? A forward-leaning geometry and efficient roll-through that made our most pronating tester “feel like a ‘real runner’ for the first time instead of a clunky plodder.” 13 oz; adidasus.com
