I bought these for a walking shoe.  I normally run in the Hurricanes, and since the Omni is advertised as a stabilizing shoe as well, I figured this would be good for at least walking while I recover from a surgery.  I would have preferred a the Hurricanes to walk in as well now that I have tried these.  It's not a bad shoe.  It's just that the Hurricanes are that much more superior of a shoe.  Better cushioning, better fit, better support.  Better everything.  But I'll still use these for walking, but I would never run in these.
