Comments: I have run in the asics nimbus 12's and 14's for the last 4 years and I wanted to go more towards a zero drop but not sacrifice cushioning. These shoes are awesome. I put in 35 miles my first week in them with a 15 miler on saturday and I am very happy. My only complaint is I have a skinny foot and I had to cinch the laces all the way down to get a good fit. I purchased some sol air insoles which are a thicker insole and that made for a better fit. I would highly recommend this shoe. I will see how they fair for my first marathon in them in may.

Comments: I have the tendency to research stuff to death so when I ordered these shoes simply off the reviews of the previous Cortana and the knowledge that Saucony always works to improve their products I was way outside of my comfort zone. Lucky for me my first run in the Cortana 2 put me right back in my comfort zone. These shoes are AMAZING! Granted I've only run in them twice (4 and 6 miles) and won't go for a long run until this weekend. The upper holds my foot in place but feels like a glove. It's flexible, can't feel any seems, and breathable. I can tell the ride is plush enough for comfort on the long runs but also responsive enough for tempo runs. I would highly recommend this shoe. I know it's a little pricey but you definitely get what you pay for. I'm going to buy another pair just to wear around the house....slipper style!
