I am a 300lb RN that is on his feet all day. I buy a new pair of these shoes every year and they are great. I feel like my lower body is supported well with these beasts. I am still tired by the end of a shift but my feet and joints don't bother nearly as much as before these brooks. I am obviously not a runner that finds the good and bad in the smallest details but for my activity and weight these are the best shoes going.
