I run three times a week, totalling just over 25 miles, and am 65 years old, having run for 40 years.

I've loved running in my New Balance Minimus -- the barefoot style running shoe.  But when an irksome Achilles Tendinitis case just wouldn't go away.  I decided I needed a bit of cushioning.

So, I read about these new Saucony's in Runners World -- which rated them an Editor's Pick -- and took a chance on 'em.  Great look, great fit, stable in the ankles, extremely light (e.g. even down to a nice, short tongue) , nice cushion, and -- most important for me -- a relatively short drop from ball to heel, only 8MM.  Makes running on your forefeet much easier.  And, after a month, my Achilles tendinitis is finally starting to recede.  (I credit the shoes and, strangely, a homeopathic cream also noted in Runner's World, Topricin, which one can also find on Amazon.  I have absolutely no faith in homeopathy, but this stuff seems to work.)

The shoes ran "hot" the first time.  Since then, though, they've been just fine.  And now are easily the best, most comfortable running shoes I've ever used.  If you can get 'em at the $89 price I got, they're about the best running buy you could ever make.
