The less expensive of the prices listed is always for the women's model. Sizes listed are for men's and women's models, when applicable. When it's not, the shoe is a men's models and the sizes listed are for men.

Centaur: $70 stability The Centaur is a standard training shoe with a plastic medial footbridge similar to the Nike Air Structure Triax. The Centaur is stable with a durable outsole. Sizes: (m) 7-11, 12, 13; (w) 5-10, 11.

Apollo: $90 stability Like its predecessor the Nitro, the Apollo is an unusual shoe. Just like the Nitro it has two interchangeable rearfoot midsole cartridges. The rearfoot is the highest wear area for most runners, but with the Apollo when the midsole in the rearfoot wears out, you can simply replace it with another cartridge. Or if you prefer a soft ride one day and a firmer ride the next, all you need to do is switch midsole cartridges. (It's easy to switch cartridges and Power provides two midsoles and a tool for making the switch with each shoe.) Sizes: (m) 7-11, 12, 13; (w) 5-10, 11.

Oblivion: $90 stability Another stability trainer with a replaceable midsole heel cartridge. Other than the added durability of changing the midsole in the rearfoot when it wears out, the Oblivion provides adequate stability and cushioning. The cartridges are available in soft, medium and firm densities. Sizes: (m) 7-11, 12, 13; (w) 5-10.
