Pretty narrow, especially through the arch, so if you have a wide foot you
probably won't like it. Not the lightest shoe but a very densely cushioned
midsole.

huh? not my experience at all. I have wide feet and love the supernova
cushion. Maybe its a male female/model difference? They also come in
wide sizes, but even with my wide feet I find the regular model
perfect.

I agree, the NB 807 is superior.

Ilona,
How big are those puppys? You must have a huge vagina too, just like
guys with big feet?

It's mainly an issue with the men's model. Women seem to like that snug fit
through the arch but it's a tougher sell to men. The forefoot in this shoe
isn't as wide as some Adidas' in the past either.

It's not just the arch but the forefoot as well. I switched to Mizuno
Wave Riders, which have a fairly snug fit through the midfoot saddle but
widen up in the forefoot - I like the fit much better. I also find the
Supernova Cushions fairly inflexible for a supposedly "neutral" shoe.
One other knock - heel is a little high for me, which gives them a
somewhat slow, ponderous feel. Having said that, the cushioning in
them was excellent (and durable). But they just didn't work for me, and
I *do* have relatively narrow feet. YMMV as always.
