I'm very particular about running shoes. I need a good arch and I over-pronate a bit, so I need certain things in a shoe. This one came through well. I ran it on mixed terrain today on my lunch break and had good results. On paved surfaces it did well, on gravel it did well, and on grass it was okay. The front of the sole seems a bit thin, which isn't a problem for me on harder surfaces. But I tend to run off road when I can to lessen the impact. When off road I could feel the bumps a bit more than I like in the sole.
Overall a good shoe though. Well worth the sale price I paid for it.

I am a 100% Acics fan. Finding a shoe that offers the right support is difficult. The right shoe with the right support will also help the joints.

Yeah I like these. "On Sale" always catches my attention when it's a good brand. I wore Asics in High School and liked them. Haven't tried them since though.

These sound great! I bought a couple pairs of Asics and love them on gravel. I have never had a pair of Brooks. I think I might have to try a pair.
