A good shoe only lasts about 300 miles on average (about a track year, if you run HS long distance track). These shoes are (supposedly) aimed at the hardcore runner. But, as Mike said, a pair of $75 dollar shoes will do the same as a pair of $300 shoes. Sure, the controlled cushioning for your needs is nice, but companies such as Nike, Adidas, Asics, Mizuno create shoes for individual types of runners with different needs. 15-20 minutes at a Footlocker and a little study is all you need to get the type of shoes you need. The "variable cushoning" isn't needed then. I personally would go to runnersworld.com and use their shoefinder to find the shoe right for you. Sites, such as eastbay.com or roadrunnersports.com use the results from that test (cushioned, mid-arch, overpronation etc.) to display shoes right for you. After that, go to your shoe store of choice and try out those shoes. That way you have the right shoe for you. <br><br>Personally, I use a pair of old, worn Adidas Megarides (now Megabounce) and a pair of Nike's 1st Air Max 180's, but the glue came undone on one of the shoes right before track season this year, and now it rides funky.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[AustinRoepke]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Mar 8th 2007 7:37PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Adidas_1 DLX Runner updated, less fugly]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2007/03/08/adidas_1-dlx-runner-updated-less-fugly/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2007/03/08/adidas_1-dlx-runner-updated-less-fugly/</guid><description><![CDATA[Thank you from the bottom of my heart for not spelling "automatically" as "automagically."<br><br>]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[robotrock]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Mar 8th 2007 9:59PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Adidas_1 DLX Runner updated, less fugly]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2007/03/08/adidas_1-dlx-runner-updated-less-fugly/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2007/03/08/adidas_1-dlx-runner-updated-less-fugly/</guid><description><![CDATA[Screw the BS.
