If you are just starting to run, the Supernova Prima is a great entry-level choice — the midsole uses the new "DREAMSTRIKE+" foam, softer than regular insoles with good rebound, reducing impact on knees and feet.
The stable feel and solid support mean you don't have to worry about imperfect form. Very beginner-friendly.

User Review Summary
Supernova Prima = stable, comfortable, long-lasting, easy to use. Great for beginners, recreational running, long steady runs, daily wear. If your goal is speed/PB/ intense training, it is more of a "support/stable shoe", not a sprint-focused one.
Suitable for:
Long distance slow runs, full marathon training
Heavier runners needing thick sole protection
Those wanting a comfortable durable daily trainer
Less suitable for:
Runners focused on speed racing
Those needing carbon plate propulsion or extreme energy return
