In reply to Inhambane:
I find that the softer shoes, the more likely they feel good when you try them on. They mould more easily around your foot.
Stiffer shoes take some breaking in. If your feet don’t exactly fit the structure, they’ll feel different. For instance I found the Instinct VS (stiffer rubber) less comfortable than the VSR (same last, softer rubber).
Basically, softer shoes and stiffer shoes can feel very different, even if they based on the same last. I’m not sure if Instincts, Furias and Chimeras are based on the same last butt they feel similar to me.
