I needed a pair of all purpose running shoes for playing sports and comfortable walking. This shoe does the job very well, being it fits perfectly (I measure as a size 7 but I always wear size 8) and it's breathable (mainly in the toe region). I was thinking about buying a pair of ASICS because they're so highly rated but they're expensive so I was really glad to find these shoes. Although these shoes are marked as cushioning, I don't feel a lot of cushion when I run or walk. The design of the shoes aren't that great, unlike Saucony & ASICS which have more stylish shoes. But they're meant for running, and I find them very suitable!
