The chronicle shoe is one step ahead. I don't know if there is anything better in terms of the combination of responsiveness (bounce) and shock absorption. There are many good shoes in the daily/super trainer category, but for me, the only one that can truly compete for the top spot with the Puma Velocity Nitro 4. On the first run, the runner might think it's mainly a soft-max cushioning shoe, but it's more than that. Those abroad who say it's unstable should make sure to strengthen their legs and ankles. It's a shoe for strong legs and definitely NOT UNSTABLE. If it were more stable, it would lose its purpose, as it says on the side: EFFORTLESS PERFORMANCE. So if you want something more stable, you could go for a Novablast 5, for example, but you lose responsiveness from the midsole and comfort. The Adidas EVO SL and Saucony Azura are also very good options, and somewhat different. The shoe opens up after the first 10-20 kilometers you use it, and that's when you see how generous it is! You can't get enough of it!!!! Of course, it loses in terms of ground feel. You feel like you're stepping on a cloud-trampoline! It's all about personal preference. And the competition is quite close, so it's fair for someone to choose another shoe in the category. However, in terms of the combination of comfort (the upper hugs the foot well, ultra-lightweight, soft underneath and moderately/quite stable, shock absorption) and performance from the sole, so naturally and comfortably, without the risk of injuries from hard carbon plates, it is the top of the category along with the Puma VN4, which matches it because it completes other boxes and leaves others less complete.

The shoes are very soft and pleasant to step on, but a bit unstable. Anyone who needs stability should avoid them. I found them a bit larger in size than they should be, probably because they have no padding or internal cushioning at all. The fabric is quite elastic and hugs the foot. I mainly use them for more relaxed workouts, but I have also tried them in faster sessions, in which they did respond, but they tired me a bit. The outsole looks fragile but, to my surprise, it is not at all. I would buy them again in the future

1) Good quality materials with a nice design.

2) The sole is very soft, maybe more than it should be.

3) The tongue of the shoe is integrated and not a separate piece, and the only way to wear the shoe is by using a shoehorn.
