4/5
Overall
Good cushioning, support, reasonable durability (sole wears out for me, as a heel striker), can find it online for a good price. I get a solid 400mi in these without any major issues.

3/5
Overall
I purchased this shoe when my podiatrist told me to try a stability shoe (I was in treatment for plantar fasciitis). After running in minimal shoes for over a year and being injured most of that time, I decided to give his advice a try. I wasn't all that happy with this shoe because it didn't provide as much support as I had hoped and the upper showed wear quickly. I replaced it because it was worn out, but I had worn it out more from walking than from running and even then there were holes at the sides of the toe box after less than six months. The uppers were more worn out than the soles when I replaced them.
