This is the perfect running shoe! I bought it at a big discount from another store and I'm the type of guy who needs good support and cushioning for his shoes so I found them to be too weak and hard in the sole but I gave them a try and wow! If I'm ever glad I did! I run about 50 miles a month and am on my third pair, perfect fit, good ankle support and a deceptively stiff outsole for impact areas and it does the job perfectly. Do your feet a favor and buy these shoes!
