text: I usually get Nike/Reebok/Adidas running shoes at Kohls or JC Penny's for $40 dollars (Texas) which are good for walking and casual running. I wanted to try &#34;better&#34; shoes and after reading good reviews, I thought I would get better shoes since I was paying paying more. These shoes are of the exact same quality (decent quality) but cost much more. Don't mind spending extra money on experimenting with shoes but wouldn't buy this twice..<br /><br />Good shoes, but most stores have them for cheaper than Amazon.
