Runner’s World Review
A bargain at just $85, the FuzeX Lyte 2 is a peppy shoe for up-tempo days. The midsole and outsole remain largely untouched from the previous version, delivering moderately soft cushioning from heel to toe. The upper, however, gets a new mesh package that wear-testers reported was roomy enough to remain comfortable on long runs, but compliant enough to be pulled tight if you have a narrower foot.

We put each shoe through real-world usage and a battery of mechanical tests in our lab to provide you with objective — and exclusive — data. In addition to a shoe's weight, we measure sole thickness (everything that sits between your foot and the road), how well the foam cushions your stride, and the flexibility of the forefoot. All this is taken into account in our reviews of each shoe.
