Jeff: Every time I put this shoe on I kept hearing Sonny and Cher’s “I Got You Babe” as I was having Groundhog Day-esque flashbacks to the Brooks Glycerin 18. While it’s nothing new, the DNA Loft has a nice way of adapting to the foot’s movement and keeps the ample cushioning consistent throughout. Was the contrast between firmer and long BioMoGo DNA medial rail and softer main midsole DNA Loft to much? By mile 8, I started having issues on the outside of my right knee, and by mile 10 my left knee was having the same issue.

We challenge ourselves to make the best running gear in the world because we want to run in it, too. It’s upper is not as premium as the Transcend’s upper, but everything else tips too deeply into the Topo’s favor to not go that route.
