I've been wearing Asics gels, these don't compare, unless this pair somehow magically improve with age I'll replace them with a pair of Asics.
Also I don't know who the free socks are supposed to fit, you'd have to have a foot the size of a baby to wear the pair that came with my shoes.
They could keep the socks and the extra laces and knock a couple dollars off the price of the shoes, or even add arch supports instead, or gel inserts with arch supports. Or they could just make a knock off pair of Asic gels.

To not be totally negative they look good enough to get complimented, if that's more important than cushioning and support to you.

This is just my opinion, take it for what it's worth.
