Comments: Love these shoes, I am on my third pair. Bought the last two pairs in my size from Running Warehouse. Have no shin splints whatsoever with these shoes. Hope that the upcoming Foundation 9 will be as good as these. If not, will have to search for them, because the 8's the best!

Comments: After trying on different shoes for a heavy (218 lbs), flat footed, over-pronator, I have just purchased my third pair of Foundation 8's. These are the best running shoes I have ever owned. They have the perfect combination of cushioning and support. I also, like the wide toe box.

Comments: I've tried the Asics Gel Revolution and they were narrow in the toe box, which led me to the Gel Foundation 8. My Foundation 8's have well over 350 miles on them. I have put these through rain, mud runs, ponds, etc. I have had no issues. I have flat feet and have experienced not problem with these running shoes. I am anxious to buy another pair or wait a little while for the Foundation 9.

Comments: I also found this shoe to be soft compared with the Gel-MCs that I have been wearing for years. The fit is great, however, and so far I have had no problems. The snug heel and big round toe box is a great combination for me and my foot does not get crowded or hot on long runs. They are also much lighter than the MCs, so I might split my running time between the two, using the Foundations when racing or just occasionally to mix things up. I don't think they come near the MCs is overall support however. Not many shoes could!

Comments: I tried a few brands of shoe and found a lot of the others too rigid and a bit heavier, these fit well, feel strong and are quite lite. Would consider buying again.

Comments: At first I thought that these shoes were too soft for me. The fit is similar to the 2130. The more I wore them the better I liked them. I am a big guy at 6 feet and 230 lbs, but these shoes control my over-pronation just fine. I tried the current Evolution but it is much too narrow for me. I will buy another pair of the Foundations.

Comments: This shoe is great. I use these shoes for walking, running, and interval training. I have never had a more comfortable running shoe. I wear an 11.5 2E and the shoes I bought fit perfectly. They don't fit tightly like some of the Nike and Adidas shoes. The biggest plus with this shoe is that there aren't any hard plastic points rubbing against any part of my foot. My old NB shoes rubbed against my little toe. It rubbed so much that I didn't realize how badly I was being affected until I couldn't run for 3 weeks and had to have cortisone shots in that area. I replaced the standard insoles with a good set of replacement insoles due to my personal preference for them. I give this shoe 5 stars.
