I have been going to the gym for 20 years and have owned many different gym shoes. These are by far the best looking and most comfortable shoes I have ever worn. I run in Mizunos so I am not sure of how it feels to run in them, but walking around in the gym in them is so very comfortable. Lifting with legs has been awesome. I have high arches and plantar faciitis, so I have to choose my shoes carefully. These work for me so very well.
