This is an awesome running shoe! It is being touted priamrily for its cushioning and secondarily for its stability with true sizing. I wanted a cushioning shoe because I run on pavement and because the impact of each step is 3x my body weight. Cushioning is preventative for further injuries. I broke my shoes in with a 5 mile run - no blisters, hot spots, etc! Also, the big news is that my plantar fasciitis was not aggravated or exaserbated. Super cushiony. Slightly stiff at the get go, but that’ll be gone after a few runs. HOWEVER, I did also buy a running insert/insole that I’m using instead of the insole that came with the shoes. It absorbs impact way better. I thought I was just getting old because my knees would ache after each run so I could no longer run every day anymore. Also, I was developing strange pains in strange places in my feet when I ran. Turns out, it was my old shoes. If you’re looking for a cushioning comfortable ride, look no farther. The only downside is the price tag.
