This shoe doesn't provide good cushioning or support for running and the sole feels stiff.  The shoes make a loud noise (like stomping) upon landing although I'm not heavy footed.  I also got blisters on the top of my foot and my legs started to ache.  I ran with it a few times, but ended up purchasing the Asics Kayano shoe which is better suited for running 5-7 miles a day. This shoe might be good for walking or wearing to work.
