They actually live up to the hype. Super comfy. You can actually feel your muscles working a little while you walk, and yet walking is easier in these pups. Plus, the way they are designed actually helps improve your walking posture. I haven't tried running in them yet, but really very pleased with these shoes so far.

Update: It has now been over a month since i purchased these (at the gold box rate of $45). I suffer from chronic pain in my knees from years of basketball, pronation, running, and many bad choices along the way, lol. Anyway, the result is my kneecaps are offset, and thus tend to grind down the patellas. I had corrected much of this by reteaching myself how to walk without pronation, but the pain still persisted, some days worse than others. I noticed that after about two weeks of wearing these shoes everywhere except work (where i have to wear non slip safety shoes), the pain reduced and at this point, i am incredibly pleased to say i have zero knee pain anymore. Further, the shoes have actually helped to further reduce my pronation (as was pointed out by my girlfriend one day when we were walking around the neighborhood). I intend to buy a second pair in point of fact, so as to guarantee i don't wear them out any time soon.

July 22: The shoes are still great. In fact, i just bought a second pair (the first were the white and red ones, the second pair was the olive), which looks really cool with the color scheme, and is equally comfortable.
