UPDATE TO MY ORIGINAL REVIEW (BELOW).  I'VE NOW RUN OVER 350 MILES IN THESE SHOES.  I ALSO RAN THEM IN MY FIRST MARATHON WITH NO ISSUES.  THEY FINALLY BROKE IN AFTER 150+ MILES...IT TOOK WAYYYYY LONGER THAN I THOUGHT, BUT THEY ARE VERY COMFORTABLE NOW.  HOWEVER, JUST ABOUT THE TIME THEY WERE BROKEN IN, MY TOES STARTED RUBBING THROUGH THE MESH!  SO IN FAIRNESS...DECENT SHOE AT A DECENT PRICE, BUT NOT VERY DURABLE.  ALSO, SAUCONYS SEEM TO RUN BIG.  I TYPICALLY WEAR A 10, BUT IF I WERE TO ORDER SAUCONYS AGAIN, I'D ORDER A 9.5.

First - there are a lot of complaints about the mesh getting wrecked too early.  I see how that can happen, as they extend the mesh almost all the way to the front rubber.  These shoes would be MUCH more durable if they put more leather between the mesh and the front rubber.  NOT a problem for me at this point (116 miles logged on them), but I can see the design flaw.

Now...the BIG issues: I'm a mild-moderate overpronator, and this shoe is not helping me at all.  I have EXTENSIVE wear on the outer edge.  My last pair of shoes were Puma Vectana 2's and I think I'm going back to them.

Next big issue is forefoot cushioning.  I run almost 100% on my forefoot - very little heel strike.  The balls of my feet are falling apart with these shoes.  Any run over 5 miles is painful for me.  NOT GOOD for a man who's training for a marathon.

So...bottom line: if you're an overall neutral runner and you do shorter (5 mi and under) training runs, you'll like these (unless the mesh falls apart).  I just picked the wrong shoe.  I guess that's what I get for being cheap and not going to the running store.
