The cushioning system is the ZoomX midsole. I've ran in hundreds and hundreds if not thousands of pairs of shoes over the last 15 years and when I put this shoe on my foot it just felt crazy soft underneath.That is a good thing and can be a bad thing depending on what your body is requiring at this point in time. This is hands down bar none the softest shoe I've ever run in and that's saying a bit. MidsoleĬoming through to the midsole, we have the ZoomX cushioning system. As you come through to the forefoot you have quite a flared forefoot as well so there's a lot of purchase area through the front half of this shoe. You have quite a lot of real estate underneath the heel and then it does narrow through that semi-curved last region through the arch. That's a lot to do with the cushioning system which we'll get to in two ticks. There’s a lot of rubber underneath the foot and a relatively substantial amount of shoe at the base of the heel. You get plenty of traction and protection underneath the foot which is going to be making sure there is no uneven wear on the ZoomX midsole.
#THE INVINCIBLE SHOE REVIEWS FULL#
This shoe is full ground contact meaning there is rubber from the furthest part of the heel right through to the furthest part of the forefoot. Like all my shoe reviews gone by, we'll start from the ground and work our way up. Let's get to the exciting part about this shoe and that is all to do with the engineering. I encourage people to get fitted to make sure this is going to be appropriate for you at home. However, because it's so soft I'd be questioning whether the support is going to be adequate for you the overpronator out there. Obviously, there's going to be runners out there that overpronate, use it and may be A-OK. If you are a runner at home and you tend to mildly overpronate, where you flatten out that arch and track towards your big toe before you release on toe-off, I'd be questioning whether the ZoomX Invincible Run is a shoe for you. When this runner comes through their gait transition, they still stay relatively stable and the pressure is through the central part of their foot. The other neutral or stable neutral category we see in store is a foot posture with a flatter arch. There's a little bit of real estate between the arch and the ground.įor this runner when they're coming through their gait transition, the pressure will either be through the central part of the foot and they might have a slight tendency to supinate or put a little bit of lateral pressure as they go through their toe-off phase of the gait cycle. Neutral refers to a foot type with a high arch in a static position. Like all my shoe reviews gone by, I like to touch on the foot type that could be considering this shoe.
We’re going to go over the outsole, midsole and the upper and give you all the information at home to maybe throw this into your shoe rotation.
