I am a pretty big guy, and needed to get back into running longer distances, but I really wanted a shoe that would support me and off the mid-foot strike while working on losing weight. When I got these
shoes, I was at 330 lbs, and have now reduced to 290. I have had some problems in the past when running, especially in the ball of my foot. I got these
shoes and was able to immediately
jump from 2-3 miles per day to 5 per day for 5 to 6 days a week without any issues. The only issue I have had is that the
sole does wear out quicker than traditional running
shoes, but the comfort is well worth it. I am on my second pair, and have kept up running the 5 miles a day for over 6 months without any issues at all. I highly recommend these to anyone working to
keep the pain away.
