I am coming back to running after a 2 year hiatus. I had a foot and knee injury, let myself get fat, out of shape, and lazy! I changed my diet, began a regimen of intermittent fasting, strength training, stretching, and hr-based cardio training and lost 35lbs.With the weight loss and all the training combined I have been able to return to running. I always loved running. I helps get my head in the right place. I don’t go quite as far and no where nearly as fast, but I at least I’m going. When you quit moving, you quit moving.I knew the shoes I chose would have to fit right while also providing the right amount of cushion and support. These shoes fit the bill. Now… I am only putting 8-12 miles a week on them right now. I am certainly not training for any marathons. Having done that kind of training in the past, I think these would definitely hold up, especially if you are more svelte.Negatives… probably the uppers. They are that meshy type fabric. It gives a little too much if you have to make lateral adjustment.
