Nathan, Matt, and David dig into a fast-growing new category of super-tall, super-cushioned trainers, not necessarily made for speed but for comfort cruising. Is it a real category? Who is it actually good for, and is it worth $200+? They put eight of these shoes into a randomized bracket, including the ASICS Slowcush, Nike Vomero Premium, and Saucony Paramount Max, to see which one comes out on top.
