This is my 8th or 9th pair of Asics I have owned so I am obviously a fan.  The reason I love these Running Shoes is that they are very comfortable.  The day you buy them and wear them they feel perfect on your feet.  No breaking them in, just buy and wear!  I wear them virtually everyday because I never have any foot, heal, shin pain due to how well they absorb shock. They are well made and if Asics only sold inserts I could get months more use out of them.  The shoes are in perfect condition long after I have worn out the inserts.  I average 3-5 miles everyday in these shoes and they last me about 6 months.
