It felt really good on the feet when I went for my first run. It still feels very comfy after a couple of weeks. But my biggest problem with most shoes is that the support at the heel end isn't very good and the underlying frame starts poking through. And I can already see this shoe doing the same. Someone in my neighborhood was selling a slightly used Nike Air pair, and I actually use that one more than this as that provides better heel side support. I think this Asics is just average.
