I use these as my everyday runners (4-6 mile runs).  They have great traction, good stability, and after several months, are holding up rather well (at around 500 miles and still with tread!).  I recently upgraded to Brooks Ravennas being that I am a much more serious runner, but use those on my longer runs (6-12 miles).  I would highly recommend this or the newer version (1150) for anyone who is a casual to moderate runner and tends to be on the heavy side (i weighed 180 when I bought these, 155 now).  Great cushion and stability and comfortable for overpronaters.
