I bought Asics and Reebok. I've worn these brands for many years but I had to send them back, they just hurt my legs and they weren't value for money. I saw them and laughed at the SLOW MAN logo and decided to try them for $35. I'm glad I love her. I have just ordered 2 more pairs, these are by far the most comfortable shoes I have ever owned. I'm a 350 LB TALL MAN so my legs are throbbing and I'm on them 8-12 hours a day at work and now my legs don't hurt at the end of my shift. THANKS
