I really like these ASICS... I switched from ADIDAS SuperNovas, which I was very much UP ON, lovN, etc... But I couldn't find them at a good sale price (about $70) after I guess they must have gotten too popular... So, I looked for a new shoe and found the Asics GT-2150 - really like them and they are wayyy more sturdy than the Adidas... And the more I wear the shoe - for jogging, working out, and walking in a city environment - the more I like them... I like them so much and the price is so very good on Amazon that I ended up buying 4 pairs... Running shoe preference is very personal but these work good for me... Note that in the beginning I had a blister from the top front area of one of the shoes - but as the shoe wore in, the hot spot disappeared... Hopefully will not have the same problem with the other pairs that I bought...
