After breaking them in they cut a hole so deep on the back of my heel that I still bleed when I run, and I had to eventually scrap them because my legs cramped so fucking bad I could barely make it past the first mile. When I went back to the Asics the problems were solved.
I just run for cardio right now, rarely more than 2-3 miles at a time. Is there really something to be gained by a higher quality shoe for us folks who aren't marathon running?
