depends on your foot. if i'm not mistaken, victory is neutral while skylon is pronation control

I'm pretty sure both the Skylon and Victory are nuetral shoes.
I run in the Skylons and they are pretty good. I use them for speedwork and tempos.

idk about the new skylons, but when they first came out '06, they were pronation control because we got a bunch from nike that year for some reason

victories have almost no support so you need to be a very efficient runner, if not, shin splints for the win!
