I've been an avid hiker on trails in Arizona Mount Humphrey, Grand Canyon Rim to Rim, Supai Village/Havasu Falls etc for over 25 years. I've run out of running shoes and Saucony. I will be using these as everyday running shoes after the sole wears out and is no longer suitable for trail running/hiking. I always bought shoes in the same style. This was the first time I've bought a pair just for everyday use and I've bought a cheaper style and I'm not disappointed with the quality as I've tried several other brands and returned them.
