PositiveJane McGuire describes a plush, bouncy shoe for recovery and long runs. Her heel slipped until she tightened the laces, and the heel clip may not suit everyone.

PositiveOn a 4-mile recovery run, a beginner found the Invincible 3 super comfortable and bouncy, running faster at a lower heart rate.

PositiveA heel striker who ran about 316 miles in them over roughly nine months calls them possibly the most durable shoe they have run in, with the outsole rubber, foam and upper all holding up. The firmer foam is less fun and bouncy than the Invincible 1 and 2, and it feels slightly more compact after 300 miles. Heel slip was fixed with a runner's knot, and the fit was true to size. They see it as a good value, versatile option for slow and somewhat faster runs.
