I wouldn't recommend these shoes to anyone, and I definitely wouldn't buy them again. I bought them as walking shoes (I walk about four to six miles per day), and they function well as a walking shoe. But what started after about a month was a squeak emanating from both heels. I'm not talking about a minor squeak, I'm talking about a bona fide LOUD squeak.  I'll be in touch with Saucony about this (too late for Amazon), and will request some sort-of refund from them. This is definitely not a shoe to buy if your planning a career change that involves a life of crime.
