Cushioning
Combine a lightweight race shoe with a long-distance trainer, and you’ve got the Praya 2. Although it has more cushioning than the Karhu—and more than enough padding for ten-plus-mile runs—the midsole is light and snappy and had no trouble on shorter, faster-tempo runs. “It’s one of those rare training shoes that’s capable of PR-ing,” noted one tester. “It practically bounced off the pavement.” A high-volume forefoot helps accomÂmodate swelling feet on long runs, while the snug heel feels secure at full speed. 11.8 oz; etonic.com
