I have been an avid hiker on trails in Arizona Mount Humphrey, Grand Canyon Rim-to-Rome, Supai Village/Havasu Falls etc for over 25 years. Have a variety of low cut running shoes and finished with Saukoni . 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
