Del Mar is a distance cushioned trainer with 8mm drop. Carlsbad is a neutral distance trainer 12mm drop but much less cushioning and it's lighter then the Del Mar. Laguna is a shoe I just tested, it's a trainer/racer, 8mm drop with mild stability. Diego is Zoot's max cushioned shoe with 4mm drop. I really liked the Laguna a lot and run the Del Mar for easier days or distance, it's heavier..

Thanks Bryan! What does the drop off do?

I have been running the TT Trainer 2.0 for training and mileage, and the Ultra TT 6.0 for races. Sounds like the delmar would be like the TT trainer and Laguna or Solana instead of the Ultra?

The Laguna is replacing the old Ovwa, which was the TT stability shoe. They still make the TT 7.0, so maybe you just get the laguna for a trainer.
