I got fitted for these at my local running store. I tried several brands/kinds, and I kept coming back to these. As a newer runner, who has a neutral foot, I really wanted something light. My previous running shoes were the Nike Free Runs. I loved those, until I started running in these. They provide cushion without feeling bouncy or heavy---things I didn't want in a running shoe. I like these shoes so much, I bought two more pair from Amazon! I run three to four times a week, about 20-25 miles a week and these do the job. I have happy feet wearing these! My advice would be just don't buy these because of reviews... go get fitted at you local running store to be sure you're wearing the right shoe. Had I bought these outright, I would've bought a half size too small, and I bet I wouldn't feel the same way about the shoes. I highly recommend these!
