My shoe needs are a little more generic then running but I find runners and cross trainers are my most common shoe types.  Primarily, I'm looking for comfort and support.  Longevity is desired and expectations are influenced by the price.

Not having had these before, there was some risk, however I must simply say that I'm SO glad I bought them.  The comfort and support in this early stage is spot on, and the reduced weight as a runner is very evident.

At the price I paid, I wouldn't expect the longest life, but judging by the quality and finish I feel confident I won't be disappointed.

I have to put a plug in for Amazon too, as the shoes were shipped very promptly and arrived very quickly.

Buying experiences such as this reinforce my willingness to do online purchasing from Amazon.
