Great Shoe for the Heavy Runner
By A35RUGXLDYT78T on 2009-07-24
I am a 20+ miles per week runner with two marathons under my belt in the last year. Being 6'1" and 220 lbs plus a "heavy stepper" doesn't make it easy to find a shoe. I have tried most brands of "true" running shoes (Asics, Pearl Izumi, Brooks) plus many Nike running shoes always opting for the "cushioning" model and have liked other shoes as long as I keep my distance down. Once over 5 miles, I start to feel the difference. Once over 10 miles, no other shoe even compares.
I have ran with Mega-Bounce for over the last 2 years.
Pros -
Best cushioning heal to toe of any shoe I have ever tried.
The cushioning doesn't effect performance. It's not like running with a down pillow attached to your foot, more like a spring.
Durability is awesome.
Cons -
Inherent in the design that makes it the "best cushioning" is the height of the shoe off the ground. This height makes increases probability ankle twists/sprains.
Narrow toe box. But I do have a fat foot. The '09s are better than the '08s because the mesh is more flexible than the stiff nylon, but still could use some improvement or at least a width size choice.
Simply Excellent -- On packed/hard trails!

I purchased these shoes over a year ago, and since then I have been nothing but impressed. I think it's important to keep in mind that these shoes are not intended for backwoods, sand or gravel running, as they will catch loose rocks, sand and debris in the springs and this can be annoying and probably even dangerous.
But if you're running on asphalt, concrete, grass, packed dirt, etc, then these shoes deserve 5/5 stars.
Great running shoe
By A28AJURTJEN0TP on 2009-05-25
I'm not much of an expert on running shoes but I really like the feel of these shoes. Great grip and support. The best running shoe I have ever purchased. Only negative is that if you run in gravel or rocky terrain, rocks will get caught in the shoe and be annoying and sometimes poke into your heel. So all I do is avoid running on rocks.
Great shoes for running & walking!!
By A1BWJJA8DMG0Z0 on 2009-06-29
I got those shoes thru amazon (great service, they did arrive earlier than expected). The shoes are very confortable, with great support for running & walking, and they look great (I got the white with silver one)with jeans or shorts. I will recommend to buy them.
A Soldiers Foot Wear
By A110WX5QQICLPB on 2009-10-06
These Running Shoes are pretty awesome, I shaved 30 seconds off of my two mile run on the PT test.. The only problem I got with it is the spaces it has in the bottom since I run in Iraq these no shortages of small rocks and they sometimes get caught in the spaces and get trapped in the bottom and rattle for awhile, other than that they're are comfortable, and keep your feet cool in the heat with the mesh. Buy these shoes...
- NOt happy
By A2XUXOPYRYWHRT on 2010-03-07
These started to fall apart soon after I bought them. Went to Asics and had much better results. These look like good running shoes but in reality I thought they sucked.
- Great workout sneaker
By AT2Q06W05OBO1 on 2010-01-07
I purchased this to wear while I began my New Years resolution. i must say I am very happy, I stared the p90x workout and these sneakers are so light and flexible, great for working out. Very little rubber on the bottoms so im not sure how long they will hold up if you are running on asphalt or treadmill. But the construction of the shoe is great, the feel and look is also superb. Recommended.
- Nice walking shoes
By ARX62NAYVE9WG on 2010-01-05
paid [...] for them, in white.
comfy, white mesh gets real dirty. washed in dishwasher a couple of times, the bounce cirlces get full of dust and crap especially dirt, can be a pain to clean.
under [...] I would buy, pay more? not worth it, none of them are...
- NOT WORTH THE MONEY.
By A2ICY2Y1JNCXAM on 2009-12-09
The shoes are not as cushion as other regular running shoes. The heel and toe sections are tight. The size 9 is actually 8.5 instead. I got suck in by other comments.
- ouch my feet
By A3OPBO06KJASB9 on 2009-12-08
I wore these shoes running one time and got large blisters on the bottoms of my feet. I run about 20 miles a week normally with no problems. Shoebacca would not accept a return on the shoes because they were worn once and would not give any refund. I will not be using either of them anymore.
- Comfy
By AK8ERFA0DV603 on 2009-11-27
These shoes are very comfy. I use them for racquetball and basketball. I highly recommend.
- Satisfied
By A15F36L1ZYI8QP on 2009-11-13
I'm really satisfied with the shoes, it's what I expected and I feel great when I use them... about the shipping it was just fast enough
- Great shoe but...
By A3VXIA8HCI8LCE on 2009-10-28
I give the price I paid $56 for the product five stars great!
I give the product only 4 stars because I live in MN and it's only good for spring/summer/dry-warm weather. I won't be able to wear these shoes until spring. But still a great buy/shoe! It felt a shade more flimsy than the other shoes in the same line but again for the money it's still a great shoe!
- Great for Comfort
By A36JST82903KAB on 2009-10-23
This shoe is unbelieveably very comfortable.Its as though youre walking on water.
I strongly recommend buying this item.
- Good Running Shoes
By A34EW1EA3J69IQ on 2009-10-19
Needed new running shoes for work and home, and have been running with New Balance for years. I saw these on Amazon on sale and thought I would give them a try. I bought two pairs. I was a little surprised when I saw the soles, they're a little different, but in a cool way. Have had them for about a month, running at work and home about 6 days a week. So far, so good...the fit is very good, they are light and comfortable. A couple of people have noticed the soles and asked about it. Verdicts out on whether the design of the sole makes them a better running shoe or not, but time will tell. I have had a bit of ankle pain in one foot and knee pain in the other leg off and on a bit, and I haven't had it with these shoes (of course, that could just be because they are new). All in all, with the sale price and free shipping, I think they were a good buy. I would recommend them. I couldn't decide whether to rate them 4 or 5 stairs, so I went with 4 stars but not because I don't like the shoes.
