I love these shoes. Nothing feels better and while they look sorta geeky, well hey who cares, my feet feel great and I am back running and walking after months of being grounded with discomfort. Disclaimer, I do use custom orthotics with them, but Saucony's have always rocked, and while they went through some years when they seem to have cheaped out on their shoes, these are the real deal, cushiony and firm all at once, fine shoes for the road.
