Great shoe for running.  Other shoes with too much cushion is not good for your knees especially if you're an avid runner/jogger in the streets.  Just enough cushion for shock absorption.  I experience less knee discomfort with this shoes than my previous running shoes. FYI, these are not cross-training shoes!!  These are meant for avid runners...Great quality, design, color, and comfort.  I am very happy with the purchase, it's worth the extra few bucks for this brand of shoes.  This Inov-8 has many accolades--look them up!!
