I guess everyone has different experiences with different shoes, but these shoes completly injured me. They do have a lot of cushion, which is good and at first resolved some of the issues had been having (big toe pain, top of the foot pain) but soon after the first wear I started having other issues(shin splints). Thinking it was me, got compression socks and that issue calmed down. Against my better judgement, and listening to everyone else around me I kept on running in them, then the IT Band issue started. It was a minor knee twinge and then some thigh pain so I toughed it out got compression shorts. Mind you I ran short distances 2-3 mi, with absolutely not problems so I kept running in them. I even ran/walked 10K without too many issues so I kept training for a race and my IT Band hurt from Saturday until Wednesday (that was the longest I had trouble). Should have left them alone but Ugh ugh. Wrong idea. Ran or tried to run my first 10K race and now my whole right leg, arches, ankle, top of foot, thigh, hip the whole works hurts badly... and my my left foot/ankle as well. Don't plan on running in these again.
