I have worn the Asics 2000 series for a number of years and have found it to be one of the most reliably consistent shoes on the market. These are no different. Instead of logging a bunch of miles in these, I am using them primary for a boot camp-style workout. They are very versatile with their great blend of cushioning and stability. Plus, this is the most colorfully stylish pair I've owned. Kudos to Asics for all that!
