s if there is hardly any cushion

Although you can’t tell from a picture, the midsole feels quite a bit firmer and is less resilient (bounces back less) than the injection molded EVA of the 290 and other inov-8 Nike Air Huarache Femme shoes.

Moving on to the midsole you see the first big difference between the 270 and 290. The 270 is one of Adidas ZX 750 Mujer very few inov-8 shoes (the only other I know of is the F-lite 235, which Nike Air Max 2017 Mujer is a purpose-built Crossfit shoe) that uses compressed EVA, where as most other inov-8s in the past have used either a standard EVA (mainly older models, but some recent ones like the Roclite 295/282/280) or injection-molded EVA (most of their current lineup including the Race Ultra 290). While the injected EVA is no adidas www.dannywinstanley.co.uk Boost or adiprene (my personal favorite midsole compounds), I find it on par with much of what is on the market today and arguably more durable (probably from inov-8’s use of full outsoles and denser midsole setups) than many of the compounds used on most modern road shoes.

I’m not sure I can entirely attribute the difference in Nike Air Max Zero Womens ride between the 270 and 290 to the type of EVA used, but I’m also not quite sure what else to attribute it to. The 290 ran Adidas Ultra Boost Womens firm, but was still quite forgiving, and there was noticeable cushion on hardpack trails and roads. The 270 feels as if there is hardly any cushion at all, and runs quite rough to me on hardpack downhills and roads. This is not because of its relatively more minimal stack height as I’ve run many miles in Adidas Superstar Damen the Trailroc 245, F-Lite 262 and others that have less stack height and they www.hijosdelvacio.es don’t run as harsh on these surfaces. The latter shoes run appropriately firm and minimal as expected. It also doesn’t mean the 270 is not protective. It is quite protective from rocks, more so than the Trailroc 245 even, but its ride is definitely more unforgiving. I find this odd as on paper it should run closer to the Race Nike Roshe Run Femme Ultra 290, which is one of inov-8s most cushioned and forgiving models. The only thing I can attribute this to is the change to compressed Nike Air Max Thea Mujer EVA in the midsole.
