Did a first run in this on tired legs and they did their job to minimize impact to my joints. This shoe is comfortable but not quite as soft as Asics Nimbus 27. There is no midsole sink in effect, but this Power run PB formulation is even more compliant than the midsole on the Ride 18. The drop is also far more middle of the road than the Glycerin Max which will definitely work you calves more if under trained for the lower drop. Lastly, it's not as bouncy as either the Brooks or Puma MagMax, but at current discounts the Hurricane is a very competitive shoe. Build quality feels good, but I will know that I had to go with an 11 vs normal 10.5 in all the other shoes I mentions. I have a slender, not narrow foot so fit in most shoes, but halfing enough room in the toe box is critical for me and the length runs a little short on the Hurricane. It's the same for the Endorphin Speed 4 and Adizero SL2 to offer other shoes I size up in as well. The shoe is heavy as an all around trainer, but is not out of line with the max stack shoe segment. The is a slow run cruiser or recovery run use for me.
