My husband started working out this year. He enjoys the treadmill the most so he started doing a lot of walking. His heels and calves started to bother him so I suggested it could be because he was still wearing his "everyday" footwear. I bought these ASICS for him to try. He is VERY particular about his footwear. He tried them on and said "ok I'll give them a try." this was minor success to me! After 2 workouts he said that his legs felt better. After 4 workouts he said and I quote " these shoes are great! They are so comfortable!" In my mind that translates to " OMG you were right and great choice of shoes! These are exactly what I needed for my feet and legs! Nuff said :)
