First, Puma uses its ultra-soft EverRide replica Vacheron Constantin watch outsole, made from aerated rubber. Second and more important, the Roadracer III incorporates EVA-based cushioning material that is both pillowy and responsive at the same time.Not surprising for a racing shoe, the Roadracer III is a light 7.2 oz for a US men’s size 9. What was surprising is how much better it felt to run up a steep hill with only three or four fewer ounces per shoe.

The shoe seems capable of even tackling some benign cross-country race courses, should I ever toe the line. --When Bryon Powell is not running, he publishes a website on trail running and ultramarathons at iRunFar.com.Want to test gear for Outside magazine?
