These are the favorite shoes I've worn. Very comfortable, well-cushioned, and they look great. Also not too overly expensive.

Dynaflytes are a great cushioning shoe

Overall

Provide a great cushion balanced with support. Feels like a lighter-weight trainer, lighter than the NB 880s I alternate with though they're both "neutral/cushioned" shoes.

Overall

This shoe is advertised as being a shoe you can use for speed work. After taking it out for an intervals workout I can promise you, that is not the case. About 1 mile into my run I knew this shoe would not be used again for anything other than a long run. Underfoot it feels heavy and unresponsive. There is little flex which I sometimes appreciate (like in the New Balance 1500s), but in this case it just made each step feel as though my foot was slapping onto the ground. When I took the insole out I realized a majority of the cushioned feeling I felt when I first tried on the shoe came from a slightly thicker insole which I expect will crush rather quickly. The toe box is shallow and I wouldn't recommend this shoe for anyone with a wider foot, or anyone looking for a speedwork shoe. It does have a better look than most asics so that was a plus, since I can't use it for speedwork I guess I can walk around in it.
