So far, so good. I wear Asics and Brooks, and like both...at least for a few months until they begin to break down. I'm always disappointed that walking/running shoes are fairly expensive, but don't last very long. I wore these walking a golf course for several hours, soon after purchasing, and my feet stayed comfortable all day long. Brooks offer a nice arch support which I appreciate. Also, the tongue of the shoe is better cushioned than Asics.
