It's a decent shoe, but definitely not worth the amount of money I paid for it. I could've gotten 2 new pairs of shoes from another company for the same price. I walked 7-10 miles a day in them for 4 days straight, and my feet and back were still super sore after each day like they are in one of my other regular pairs of shoes. They have a bit extra cushion, and Brooks included free shipping, which are both nice, but those aren't worth the sizeable price difference to me.
