I came into the running world just a few months this early Fall.  I got the Asics Gel Nimbus 12 here on Amazon for about double the price of these.  Those were great shoes, but the reviews and looks of these for half the price made me bite on them.  They are just as good if not better than my other shoes.  I have a pretty good arch, but I still run flat footed.  These have a front arch that let's me run on my flat foot more often than the other's somehow.  They are much more comfortable and fit better than those.  For half the price of those shoes, I am very glad I got these.  Now I can replace them easier.  I had about 140 miles on the other shoes and they still looked new.  These look just as good build quality so I am hoping to get around 500 miles or so on them.  I am going to get more though because it seems they are limited.  You will have a hard time getting something this good for this cheap, don't miss them!
