I went with this shoe due to the cushioning and wide toe box. The cushion is nice - enough to cushion my knees, but not too much where the shoe feels mushy. The toe box is wide causing me to size down a 1/2 size for a better fit. I do recommend sizing down 1/2 size. The shoe is stable and allows me to feel the trail, but not the rocks and roots. If you need a bit more cushioning with a wider toe box, this is the shoe for you. I love the Speedcross, but it is so tight across my mid foot I can't wear it much. This shoe also transitions to road or paved trail well, though probably not an everyday shoe for that.
