There is also some flexibility there, so expect the forefoot to stretch with time. The mesh is very comfortable and fairly breathable. This was noticeable initially, but broke in with some flexibility within a few miles. The forefoot in particular tapers, especially on the lateral side. The fit width wise is slightly snug, although somewhat unstructured in the midfoot and forefoot.

Matt: The Saucony Axon fits me true to size in my normal men's US size 10. This shoe lacks some of the glamour of the Endorphin Shift, but still delivers an enjoyable and protective ride and can function for many types of runs.

The Axon, a component of the nerve that helps transmit electrical signal, is an offshoot of the Endorphin series with clear inspiration from the Endorphin Shift. Nathan: In the world of an increasing amount (thankfully) of quality "budget trainers", Saucony comes in with their own unique option, the higher stack, rockered Axon. The shoe only comes in at $100 US and for the right runner is probably worth much more than that. There is a little bit reinforcement in the outsole and midsole due to a plastic guiderail on the medial and lateral aspect of the midfoot that creates some inherent rigidity and stability for those that may need some light stability elements. A great entry level shoe for those who want to experiment with a max stack shoe without breaking the bank, the Saucony Axons delivers a ride above its price point.ĭavid: The Saucony Axon is a high stack neutral training shoe that features a rockered sole and a fairly firm ride. The upper fits snug, with few reinforcements, but opens with time. The rocker is noticeable, but combined with some sidewalls and other features create a uniquely stable ride.

Feel free to add more examples to it.Matt: One of the rare max cushion $100 shoes, the Saucony Axon is a high stack and rockered shoe. But even with both of those feats, you could only cure one or the other, so it'll be more difficult to remove all those penalties. Clumsy is usually a bit more difficult to cure for example, Mercy allows you to counteract a fear effect, but you'll also need Invigorating Mercy to counteract the clumsy condition. Perhaps not the most important benefit, but if an enemy is both clumsy 1 and frightened 1 it's going to be a lot harder for them to cure both instead of just frightened. If you hit such a foe, you gain a +1 circumstance bonus to skill checks to Tumble Through and to perform your style's panache-granting actions until the end of your turn.Īnother theoretical option is if you have the ability to increase the value or extend the duration of the Clumsy condition (I haven't found any efficient ways to do this: Trying to critically fail with Treat Condition is very much not efficient) The qualifying conditions are clumsy, drained, enfeebled, frightened, sickened, and stupefied.

When you make a melee weapon Strike against a foe that has at least two of the following conditions, you gain a circumstance bonus to your damage roll equal to the number of these conditions the foe has. You love to kick your enemies when they're down, and you look fabulous when you do. There are reasons to apply both the Frightened and Clumsy conditions
