Fila Flow Sanctuary
$90
The Sanctuary will best serve the mild overpronator who prefers a soft ride. The shoes slight stability is provided by a plastic support cradle that runs from the heel into the midfoot area, the midsoles broad base, and an upper that securely wraps the midfoot. Those features, however, wont retard the significant foot roll of a moderate or severe overpronator. A soft ride is provided by a thick, high-quality foam midsole with supplemental pads. While the midfoot fit was comfortably snug, the broad, well-padded heel slipped on some testers. As with many Fila styles, the lack of larger sizes and narrow or wide widths will limit who can wear the Sanctuary.
