I didn't know there was all that much difference in shoe foams.

IMO, foam just benefits those that heelstrike. Course, I'm a toe runner, so I'm in a totally different camp.

Is there not foam under the entire shoe? Is your heel not contacting the ground whatsoever during a given stride?

Personally the moment I saw that a foam was described as "boring" I new this was bullshit opinion and not science

The best energy return, most durable, and cheaper is no shoes! Infinite value for money!
