These shoes are awesome and to think that I got it for a steal at a local FinishLine shoe store with a 20% military discount. I wore out my GTS 7's so I went with what worked for me previously. These shoes are extreemly easy on the feet and all impact is absorbed giving very little if any pressure to your foot. The shoes are a little on the heavy side but I am sure that is the trade off for the comfort. I run atleast 5 1/2 miles every other day and I don't ever walk away with any stresses when I complete my runs. The shoe offers great stability and keeps your feet from rolling over like Nike shoes.
