Sabates Running Energylux 2.0
“I have a history of knee problems, but when I ran in the Zia Suede Wedge Sandal the cushioning more than made up for the zero drop,” says one reviewer. “If anything, it was one of the more engaging runs I’ve been on because I could really pay attention to the way I was landing while running.”
Compared to Altra models like the Rivera, the Torin 5 doesn’t have as dramatic of a rocker shape, but don’t let that fool you. The Altra EgoMax foam is incredibly responsive, creating the bouncy, rocker-like feel you need for rolling transitions on the run.
“I prefer high cushion shoes and this model delivered a nice balance of cushion and response. As I continued to run the midsole started to feel really nice and cushioned. I also found that the transition was smooth and quick almost as if it had a built-in rocker,” says one reviewer.
