Disappointing. A stiff motion-control shoe, the 1220's are no longer cushioned stability shoes

"I've been running in the 1220's line for years and loved and trusted them. The latest was the 1226 - a great shoe. I ran half marathons with them straight out of the box. The 1260 is something else entirely. I would rate it more for motion control than stability and cushioning. It is stiff, the toe box is tight, the heel is sloppy. I didn't want to be disappointed so took them up to 30 miles (I normally do 30 miles per week). I am slightly heavy at 5ft 4ins and 145lbs - male - and need the combination of cushioning and stability the 1220's have been providing. I'm returning these and am now looking for a new shoe."
No, I do not recommend this product.
