Comments:
Breaking the tradition of associating motion control shoes with the terms “bulky” and “heavy”, the Equalon 2+ turned out to be surprisingly light yet providing comfortable and generous cushioning from heel to fore-foot with its Zoom air unit.
Pronation support was also not compromised with the Equalon 2+ equipped with ample medial arch support. Excellent heel to toe transition was also noticed with none of the “foot-slapping” action commonly found with motion control shoes.
Poor breathability of the mesh material, however, contributed to a heat sensation when the distance becomes relatively long.

Recommended for:
Bigger-build, moderate to severe overpronator

Comments:
Despite being equipped with thin zoom air-bag, the Elite 4+ provided sufficient and comfortable cushioning for every foot-strike yet maintaining its light-weight. Adequate medial support was also available to guide the feet through the entire gait cycle while excellent breathability of the mesh ensures that the feet do not feel warm when the distance gets long. A demerit point, however, would be the inadequate flexibility due to its thick midsole, thus requiring a few runs before breaking in.

Recommended for:
Neutral to mild-overpronator who needs a light pair of shoes with moderate support and firm cushioning.
