2.0 out of 5 stars THIS IS A CROSSTRAINER, NOT A RUNNING SHOE, June 10, 2010

This shoe is advertised as a running shoe, but it's not. It's a cross-trainer. If you read the description closely, it says, "Designed for ALL-AROUND (my emphasis) training, it delivers well-cushioned comfort, mile after mile." I didn't read the description until after I received the shoe. I run an average of about 35 miles/wk and thought I had ordered a pure running shoe, since it's called a running shoe in the title. My old shoes were worn, and I started to develop shin splints. I ordered these because they were so cheap. Now I know why.
Just looking at them, I thought these shoes looked like cross-trainers. They're not very flexible, and have a tennis-shoe feel to them. I wore them on a few 3 - 4 mile runs and my shinsplints came back.
These shoes are good for weight lifting at the gym, and maybe some very light cardio. If you're a serious runner, buy another shoe - a RUNNING shoe. I bought some Saucony shoes today, ran 5 miles, and the difference was amazing. I had no pain in my shins, and the cushioning was like running on clouds. With the Adidas Vanquish 3, it was like I was clopping about in tennis shoes.

I never get to sit down at my job and do quite a bit of heavy lifting, so I needed better support for my back and feet. I'm also on a tight budget right now, so I couldn't afford to go with what I usually get. These turned out to be just what I needed. They are comfortable, with good support and they have enough ventilation to keep my feet comfortable. I'm quite pleased with my purchase.
