My wife bought these shoes after I bought my Gel-1160s and I enjoyed mine so much I recommended the ladies version for her.  She normally wears New Balance, but is an ASICS convert after wearing the Gel-1160.  She walks 2 miles every day and enjoys these immensely.  They offer great support and cushioning.  She often has knee pain but has little to no knee pain with these shoes.  Recommended.
