I compared this to the Saucony Triumph 11 and chose it as it has more cushioning. However in the end after wearing THAT other one for a 20 min indoor on carpet walking work out it was way too mushy and the bones in my feet were killing me! In the end I fell in love with the Asics Kayano Gel 18...and got 2 pair. Fit great, great cushioning, and can wear for 12 hours with great comfort and support. For MY feet these did not work.
