These are amazing.  I ref soccer and walk my pup daily and have put a lot of time and running into them.  What sets these aside for me is the built in arch support.  I love the way the foot base is molded in the shoe.  It prevents small rocks or turf from hiding in the sides of the shoe/shoe base... so I don't find myself 15 mins into exercise with something in my shoe bothering me.  I have 4 pairs of sneakers ($100+ Adidas/Nike/Asics) and these are my favorite go to sneakers since the day I bought them.
