Review: Road Runners Great Strides
If you're in the market for a long-distance trainer, the MIZUNO WAVE MAVERICK 2 is your personal lace-up Lexus: It's fast, plush, and exceedingly stable. Mizuno extends a light rubber-and-plastic plate from the back of the 11.2-ounce shoe through the arch to control heel strike. This sends your energy forward more smoothly. Deflecting impact are small elastomers—imagine a set of miniature plastic shock absorbers—placed under the heel and across the toe bar. Roll off ten miles in these and you'll groove on how they keep you under control without sapping anything from your stride. ($85; 800-966-1211, www.mizunousa.com) THE SPEED OF SWOOSH At a paltry 9.5 ounces, NIKE's AIR ZOOM SPIRIDON is the lightest shoe in our roundup.
