The snazzy black, yellow & silver look caught my eye in Kohls one day, so I tried them on, and after discovering that you HAVE TO GET A 1/2 SIZE BIGGER THAN NORMAL with this particular model, I ended up going home with them.  My last pair of Ascics I thought was the most comfy one yet but this pair was even better.  Lightweight, wrap-around comfort like a cozy bucket seat for your feet.  And mine held up very well.  I wear mine, not for "running", but for working 12 hours shifts in a hospital...jogging up & down stairs, brisk walking, on your feet all day, and I've had them over a year and besides dirty and a little scuffed they are holding up VERY well for the miles I've put on them.  Of course it's mostly linoleum floors not pavement, but still the seams aren't fraying, the sole is still completely attached.  These shoes are excellent.  I used to wear Skechers but after owning Ascics Gel I will never shop around any more, except through the Ascics line.  I even found New Balance to feel like clunky flat chunks of wood on my feet compared to these.  I'm actually here buying another pair the exact same since the stores don't have them any more, they have the Enduro 7...which I haven't tried...I love the 6, why change?
