I bought these running shoes because other reviewers said shoes were comfortable and cushiony; they were all correct. I run +/- 3 miles every other day. Just tested and fell in love with them by the end of the first block. I have been a fan of Adidas running shoes for some time because their shoes are narrower and provide good support; the Marathon 10 design meets those requirements while being very comfortable and light weight and the mesh sections seem great for the hot summer months in VA. I purchased the black/hot pink combo and they are super fun. I recommend this shoe and would purchase again (also; great price point!).
