I must say that the Silver/Neon Orange combination is catchy to the eye, looks as if it was built for speed/cushion and even felt great in the store. Even so, quite simply put, these shoes are more apt to be suitable for cross-training and lighter use than running longer distances. The mesh covering, though very breathable is just flimsy. After five (5) weekends of regular running use, my feet were protesting in a major way.

On a rainy Sunday morning run this morning, I fetched my old Nike Air Max Plus from the closet (with about 400 miles on them) and there was just no comparison, even with the wear on them. The cushion, platform and overall feel of the Nikes is just totally superior....and my knees/feet thanked me for wearing them.

As with the others' comments, I feel that 100 plus dollars is excessive for limited use. There is definitely some need for major improvement to make it competitive in that price range as a running shoe.
