It took me a year to find the perfect running shoes for my first 10K... Nike's toe box too narrow. New Balance good, but hated the color combos. Addidas look good, but not enough enough arch support. These Banditos are my best running partner and Asics' top long distance race kicks. They are light, GEL shock absorption unreal, and upper mesh breathes and molds to your foot.
