Cushioned but not clunky, the 361-Fantom excels at long, pavement-pounding efforts
The 361-Fantom is a neutral shoe for road runners who want nothing but softness surrounding their feet. A midsole made with a combination of EVA foam and an EVA-rubber blend provides some of the smoothest cushioning out there, and above your foot, a padded tongue swaddles your foot once you tighten the laces.
We found the 361-Fantom works quite well on the roads, too. The foam midsole and mostly foam outsole don’t generate much rebound, but the heel-toe transition feels smooth and well-cushioned as you roll through the shoe’s 6mm offset. “Most of my runs were on roads and the cushioning kept me fromthe road,” said one tester. The mesh upper feels comfortable against the foot, although one tester noted that the slightly pointy toe box wasn’t roomy enough.
The 361-Fantom isn’t a go-fast shoe and it won’t satisfy your speed pangs, but our testers agreed it’s ideal for taking the sting out of a hard-surface long run.Softness to Spare The 361-Fantom has an EVA-foam midsole, with added cushioning from 361 Degrees’ Qu!kfoam in the heel and forefoot. The latter material is a blend of EVA foam and rubber that’s encapsulated in polyurethane; it provides extra cushioning while the surrounding EVA foam lends structure and lightness. A thick Qu!kfoam sockliner adds to the feeling of plushness. “They felt bulky to me, kind of like boats,” said one tester.
Some uppers aim to get by using as little material as possible. The 361-Fantom is the opposite: Copious foam padding keeps you locked-down and secure, like a straitjacket for your feet. A shoe’s tongue is seldom a point of compliment, yet our testers tend to enjoy 361 Degrees’ padded tongue design. “The tongue of the shoe was perfect,” one tester said. “It had a nice cushioning on it, yet not too thick or bulging at all.
