I bought these to still have zero drop but have a little more cushion. They feel good and have really liked running in them this year. Try the altras if you are looking for a natural foot to ground feel.
Great shoe, slightly more cushion than the Escalate so it's a little better with my herniated discs. It's very narrow compared to other shoes so consider going a half size up.
