The Foundation 8 continues to deliver excellent pronation control at a relative bargain price. A redesigned post and wider base control the foot, but the ride is just as smooth. A new upper creates more room in the toe-box. A great choice for runners with low arches and flat feet who want a forgiving shoe.
