I've tried Nike and Brooks and have regretted straying from ASICS.  Now I'm baaaack!  For good.  I love the color of this shoe - too bad they don't make it anymore.  I got a great price because this is last year's model.  I wear a 10.5 dress shoe and 11 running.  This fits perfectly and has lots of cushion especially noticeable on the mid strike area.  I'm not a real serious runner - I do 3 or 4 half-marathons per year a run to stay fit maybe 2 to 3 times per week at 3 miles each.
