I really liked these shoes for my recovery and long runs in Boston, but I started hurting myself after about 240 miles in them and was surprised at how worn the soles were already. By the way, I only weigh 145 pounds and I'm 5 feet 7 inches tall. I can usually walk at least 350 miles in other similar shoes (with high cushioning). It would be great for a hiking shoe or something, but it's sad to spend so much money on training shoes for such a small run.
