text: I thought these shoes were similar to a pair of New Balance I loved that I bought several pairs of but they stopped making them.  I only wore these at the gym to run on the treadmill for a couple months or so.  I had to stop because they gave me horrible blisters which wouldn't go away while still using these shoes even for less than an hour a day.  I wouldn't recommend these shoes for running any long distances even though they are actually called running shoes.  They might be okay for walking but I don't know.
