I bought these and a couple of Asics at the same time which are double the price. My plan was to use them for running dirtier trails and the others for the days when I wasn't going to get my shoes as dirty. I ended up flipping them and using them more as they worked better for me. The support, cushioning and grip are perfect for the light gravel runs I do. They seem to wear out pretty quickly but I've also put a lot of miles on them so I think they're worth it for the price and I plan on getting another pair.
