Our verdict
The Italian brand Diadora has made a comeback to running in recent years, and with this Vigore has broadened its circle of fans because, despite the bulky look, this max-cushioned daily trainer proved to be extremely pleasant on the foot. With a well-thought stability system for overpronators (suitable for neutral feet as well), this shoe eats miles for breakfast but given the retro design is appealing for a city stroll too.

Take it slow with the Mythos Blushield Vigore
Judging from the reviews it has garnered, this shoe shines at slow and long runs and recovery days. A runner described it as the “perfect cool-down trainer,” while another said it is a “deluxe mellow cruiser.”
What’s more, it is a good sneaker, and as a tester shared, “what a great walking shoe.”
A spot-on midsole
The midsole is described by wearers as being a touch bouncy, quite soft, and stable. Plus, there’s “plenty of ground protection,” and overall “the feminino is incredibly comfortable.”
Testers argued that there’s nothing wrong with this midsole, but some of them wished for a more lively feel, that can be found in some competitors.
Plenty of grippy rubber underfoot
The outsole provides “lots of grip and durability“ and a tester claimed that even on snow, he was “mostly confident with each step.”
Mythos Vigore has a unique way to give stability
Unlike other stability shoes, the Blushield Vigore has a gap on the external part of the midsole, which allows some give on the medial side. As a result, the shoe feels “super stable but not overwhelmingly obtrusive” and some experienced runners pointed out that it could work very well for neutral runners too.
Reducing weight is the goal for the next edition
No doubt among reviewers in this department: at 11.8oz (335g) the Diadora Vigore is a heavy shoe. By looking at the average weight for a running shoe, we can clearly see the difference: 9.6 oz or 273g.

Diadora Mythos Vigore is nicely tight on the foot
