I have been running in these shoes for a bit and I like them. I've been in Asics for awhile and these shoes are right in that line. They offer plenty of support under the heal, which is great for me. They also offer supreme stability for my ankle (as I have a tendency to rotate a lot when running). They are light weight and are one of the only line of shoes that doesn't make my shins hurt. I strongly suggest these shoes for amateur and pro runners, alike. Pricewise, it's great for what you get. They are sturdy and seem like they're set to last a full 6 month lifecycle.
