I just noticed the new Contana. I'm looking for something new that's stable, low ramp, and offers mild stability. I ran Boston in the DS Trainer 16's which I liked but could have used a bit more forefoot cushioning during the last 10K.

Built on the same platform as the Kinvara. Fair bit more cushioning than the Kinvara. Little stiffer. VERY light amount of stability. More of a structured neutral shoe than a true "stability" performance trainer like the DS Trainers. Definitely less heel-toe drop than the Trainers, though.

For my taste, a touch heavy (weight akin to your DS Trainers) and not quite enough medial support. Hence why I wear the Mirage.
