Hurricane ISO 3

I owned a pair of the original Hurricane ISO shoes that were great, lasted well over 400 miles before I retired them out of caution. The Hurricane ISO 3 is a different story, I put holes through the heel of both shoes right around the 200 mile mark, disappointing as the rest of the shoe is still in great condition. I hope the next generation returns to the original quality construction.

I been using Hurricane since the single number digits to #16 and on to ISO 1 Power Grid. Each generation improved on the lat- NOT this model. Due to illness I skipped ISO 2, and bought the 3. It is cushier and help the landing and the back part of the feet, but the front toes have no protections- they hurt shortly into the run The thinned out the tongue and other fabrics, the loops are precariously attached in loop rather that being part of a sturdy vinyl as in the bast. I, Long for old running design that made the Hurricane so unique to the pronators. Why tamper with a successful brand- it work and had many followings like this 70 year old writer.

I bought these shoes to replace my ISO 2s which I had 4 pairs and was excited to move up to the 3s. The heel in the right shoe wore through after 30km which isn't ideal. My last pair lasted 800km and I wore the soles off them. Extremely disappointing in the quality of this product.

This is my 3rd pair of Hurricanes and probably my favorite. They are extremely flexible and yet, very comfortable. I've ran 4 marathons this year in them and they have not let me down.

I’m training for the Dopey Challenge at Disney World and I’ve been disappointed that two consecutive pairs of hurricanes have had an issue with the lining behind the heel of the shoes ripping apart, making it impossible to continue wearing the shoe because of heel blistering. Great shoe otherwise in terms of wear pattern, etc, just really disappointing to have such a defect issue for the premium price-point.
