Perfect Shoes
I use this shoe because gait analysis found that it was the most suitable for me. Slight knee injury cleared up quickly and never returned (3 years including its predecessor, 857). This model is more comfortable and the webbing is stronger than the 857s, which had a tendency to tear after a few hundred miles. One of the lace straps broke shortly after buying my first pair of the 858s. My second pair felt fine when I put them on, but required a lot more breaking in than previous shoes.
Have been running in shoes from this line since the 851. (I have tried others, but keep coming back to this line for general training/running.) The 858 is the best of the line. Definitely a solid sole with good support but still feels like a running shoe built in part for speed. Recommended.
