First: these shoes run *small*. Consider ordering 1/2 size larger than your usual.

My marathoning days are well behind me, ending about two years before the current century started.

I still need an athletic shoe for walking (with and without a dog, and on both pavement and trails along the reservoir near our house) and trips to the gym, where I use multiple cardio devices and strength training machines.

These fit well and cushion nicely without being overly soft in their feel.

Good mid-price cross trainer.
