=Characteristics=
* {{H:WhyBuy}}. I don't think you should buy the EVERlong. If you're after something closer to a traditional shoe, look at the [[Saucony Kinvara]] which is lighter. The [[Hoka Clifton]] is lighter and better cushioned, the [[Altra One2| Altra One<sup>2</sup>]], or [[Saucony Virrata]] are lighter and zero-drop.
* {{H:cushioning}}. The EVERlong is moderately cushioned.
* {{H:drop}}. The EVERlong has 9mm of drop, which is more than I'd like or recommend.
* {{H:flexibility}}. The EVERlong is less flexible that I would have expected, probably because the foam does not have any grooves, and partly because of the extensive outsole.
* {{H:outsole}}. There is a hard rubber covering virtually the entire contact area of the shoe, which improves longevity.
* {{H:shape}}. The shoe is does not match the shape of the human foot, but the EVERlong is not as bad as many shoes. However, I'd still recommend [[Shoe Modifications| cutting open the toe box for comfort]].{{H:TryCuttingShoes}}
* {{H:upper}}. The upper is inflexible but reasonably comfortable. The rear half of the shoe, from about the middle of the arch, is nicely padded. This improves comfort but it also reduces breathability and introduces a noticeable seam. This seam did not cause me any problems, possibly due to the socks I wear to reduce friction.
* {{H:tongue}}. The EVERlong has conventional tongue that has thick, soft padding.
