Interesting feedback
ASICS says it is for heel-strikers
And you says it is firm (midfoot ?)
Sam, the tester in the review in post #1, clearly a heel-striker, says also it is firm especially midfoot.
So yes, this is a difference with Hoka.
So, high stack and rocker just to keep the ankle at same angle, but still to heel strike with no mid-foot cushion.
OK, not a shoe for me, most probably. I was hesitating to go Hoka Carbon Rocket, thinking may be not enough mid foot cushion, but I will try them, as apparently they do have mid-foot cushion.
I was expecting ASICS to understand the value of mid foot cushion, and with 30mm+ of stack, it is still not there....
