I've been an avid hiker on trails in Arizona's Mount Humphrey, Grand Canyon Rim-to-Rim, Supai Village/Havasu Falls, etc. for over 25 years and have a variety of low-cut sneakers and ended up with 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.
