The carbon plate within the Mezzofondo encompasses a distinctive concave form close to the again of the heel, paying homage to New Stability’s Power Arc plate setup from their earlier racing fashions. That is meant to maintain the plate from bending downward through the footstrike (like barely folding your pizza slice to maintain it from drooping). In apply, this implies the Mezzofondo has a definitive “in your toes” tendency to tug your foot in the direction of the toe-off section ASAP.
I watched some movies of Langon’s working type, and he’s a reasonably constant forefoot striker, even in longer monitor occasions just like the 5k, so this is sensible. The spike is supposed to maintain that aggressive forefoot momentum and propel you ahead from the ball of your foot to your toes. Just like the midsole durometer, this trait pushes the spike in the direction of the center distances just a little greater than it does for lengthy races.
The one-word sensation I had in my thoughts throughout my time on this spike was “clean.” On the foot strike, there isn’t a lot squish, however there additionally isn’t a lot shock up by way of the leg. You don’t really feel an entire lot of impression, and earlier than you realize it, you’re onto the following stride, due to the inflexible carbon plate giving extra of a rolling sensation than a handy guide a rough one. The entire spike rides easily and powerfully, and once you decide up the tempo, the Mezzofondo goes with you. If Diadora is the working equal of Lamborghini, the Mezzofondo stays proper consistent with the motif.
