So far I like these although, it is an adjustment, since I've worn Asics for years and have become accustomed to lots of foam for support. These were initially hard to get on because they're so soft, but I do find that the do allow for more speed and movement when I do plyo X, but they do not have much traction, so I have to be careful I don't slip and fall on slicker surfaces. I also wore them to walk my dog a couple miles and they were very comfortable. As I stated earlier its just going to be an adjustment, since these are built so differently. One more thing for you girls out there, who care about the color of your workout shoes, the picture says black and white, but there is no white these are all black.
