Over the years, I've tried many different brands of running shoes.  I always end up going back to Asics. So when I found something I liked, I wanted to purchase a few pair for future back-up.  These shoes are very durable, provide great support, and don't get worn out early.  I'm not using any inserts and find the arch support to be great for me.  While these aren't the lightest shoes, they certainly aren't the heaviest either.  I'll be picking up a few more to keep in my closet before they are gone since the new model has been out for a bit now.  Anyone looking for a comfortable running shoe that won't disappoint, look no further.  Great job again Asics!
