Diadora Mythos Blushield 10 Vortice Hip review: what runners say
Fit
Runs a half size large: size down a half. Fit is improved over the previous version, cleaner in the toebox, generous but not excessive width.
Feel
Medium cushioning with Blue Shield EVA-pillar technology: good response, airy feel underfoot. Rides more forefoot-oriented than the 10 mm drop would suggest.
Durability
Outsole uses Duratec 5000 rubber at the heel and blown rubber at the forefoot. Target lifespan around 500 km; outsole compound reformulated over the previous model for improved wear resistance.
Best for
Neutral daily trainer for easy to moderate paces, distances from 10 to 20+ km. Well-suited for underpronators and wide feet; not geared toward speed sessions or racing.
Weak points
Non-gusseted tongue: tends to shift during a run. Some runners would prefer more toe spring for a more responsive toe-off.
