An “adaptive” shoe that morphed with our testers’ strides, the LunarElite came across as feeling deep dish in its cushioning but rather free-feeling, thanks to the technologically advanced materials used in the shoe. The pronounced forefoot flex and minimalist upper of the slightly supportive lightweight LunarElite requires a confident stride despite the lulling and forgiving encased foam core and memory foam collar.
