I've been a runner for 25 years and have tried just about every brand of running shoe there is. I've discovered that Saucony is really the only brand that both lasts fairly long and is the most comfortable for me. In the past year, I've been dealing with plantar fascitis and Saucony is the only shoe manufacturer whose shoes I can wear and not be in pain. I recently purchased a pair of New Balance shoes but found them to make the problem even worse. After I bought these, the problem immediately subsided.

This particular model of shoe is very well made and has specific support around the arches which relieves pressure on the heel that causes pain. I'm also pretty happy with the tread on the bottom - I won't be slipping in the rain which I do often run in. All in all, I'm pretty happy with these.
