Comfort is darn good, although ASICS fit like slippers - these seem more supportive.Laces feel thin (ok.less weight) and may be a weak point, but cinch down well.2 months wear, running and walking - will update.Bought black with white cushion and yellow sole for visibility - then you end up with black athletic socks and black running pants and start falling down that hole. Soon you want to get tattoo sleeves, put on dark eye make-up and listen to Nine Inch Nails.Watch Out!
