I've been rotating this running shoe with my New Balance 993, 805 and 860 so I usually buy a pair once a year. This is my second pair purchased thru Amazon. It is just as good as my first pair, and has served me well. I run an average of 15 miles a week and will usually throw away a pair of running shoes after 300 miles or so. They are very light and cushioned enough for my semi-flat feet. My favorite running shoes used to be the NB 992, but the 993's are just not as good so this pair has been by go-tos ever since. I'm 4'11" and weigh 135 lbs if that helps females out. I have done my gait analysis 2x and I use what was recommended for my gait which is what I listed above. I have paid over $100 for a pair of running shoes so getting the Saucony for under $60 is a steal for me! I keep 2 pairs around just in case they discontinue the model like the NB 992 was for me.
