Downgraded 1 star for value. They are overpriced. But...

I really like them, they are very comfortable. Best running shoes I've owned. I have had a few other ASICs and I like these the best. In general I like ASICS more than Nike, New Balance, etc.

If you buy them, I don't think you will be disappointed at all. I just think they are somewhat overpriced.

UPDATE -- I wore the first pair 2 years, first in the gym, then just around...because I liked the look so much. They don't really show dirt as they wear and look great. I finally found another pair available in my size and snapped them up, paying even slightly more than the first (overpriced) pair. I just like the look, comfort and the way they held up over time. Great shoes...It is irritating that the exact same shoe in different colors is $80 less however...I have a pair of those too.
