text: On a budget, these shoes do very nicely. Overall a good fit, could use a bit more arch support - the shoes feel a bit flat, especially for those with high arches. My feet tend to pronate somewhat when I run (which I'm working on), and the shoes do not do much to help support it.<br /><br />Good, solid support on the heels, but for the heavier guy (185 lb) trying to put in 4-10 miles per run, there are better shoes out there. The shoes feel a little bland when you're aiming for a midsole strike at a brisk pace. The shoes were designed to be comfortable (and they are!), but I don't think they're designed for the serious runner. I went from Saucony's wave series to this shoe, and there is a definite change in how I feel when I'm running. I tire out much more easily, and I can't seem to find my stride as well with these shoes.<br /><br />But hey, I paid something like $40, I'm not going to complain too much. They're solid for what they are - a pair of comfortable running shoes.
