I have had these running shoes for about 18 months now and at the time I paid £45 for them from JJB Sports however because of my gym membership I did get a 10% discount off that price.

They are an excellent mid range (in terms of price) running shoe that are very light but also provide excellent cushioning from the impact of running, I rarely run on the streets preferring to use the running machines at the gym as there is less impact on my joints and you are also less likely to trip or slip on uneven pavements. Ther is a lot of cushioning around the heel so they are a nice snug fit and very comfortable indeed, there was no need to break these in before using them in the gym, i wore them a bit around the house but that was not really necessary as they were nice and easy on my feet right from the start.

They have a good amount of grip which is riged and contoured to ensure that the shoes are stable without being too grippy so it allows for a smooth running action, I have used my shoes both indoors and out and on a number of different arobic bits of kit such as the step machine and cross trainer as well as the running machines and they have proven to be robust and providing great support as well as absorbing all the shocks on my leg joints

They are also pretty good at preventing my feet from becomming too hot and they are comfortable to work out in, I tend to limit my runs to about 5 miles maximum but I try and maintain a reasonably high pace on these runs so good running shoes are essential and these certainly fit the bill. They are beginning to show some signs of wear but in the 18 months that I have had them they have had a lot of use so given the price I still think I have got my value for money from them.
