I absolutely love the Brooks Silence Running Shoe. It is so light weight that you feel like you're running on air. The shoe is very well ventilated thus your foot won't sweat and you won't get blisters. This shoe is made for someone who has a normal foot strike because it only offers minimal support. However, this shoe does run on the small side so I suggest you purchase a 1/2 size longer than you normally wear. It is an excellent shoe for a multitude of activities. I love this shoe so much that I plan on buying another pair in the spring. Highly recommended.
