As usual I love my new Asics,  these are nice and lightweight but not so thin on the bottom as some of the new styles.  I have high arches and need support when running, these are the perfect mix of support and flexibility.  I am not a marathon runner....10K is more up my ally....and run 10-15miles/wk, I've had these shoes for a few months and they still feel like new.

One recommendation if you are new to Asics, try a half size larger than you typically buy.  Everyday shoes I am an 8 and Brooks as well, but I have bought multiple pairs of Asics in and 8.5 and been happy
