"Got a pair of these a few weeks ago to try out. Been using them for some work outs, weights and now for some indoor football games and even softball practice when I forget my cleats. I'm a heavier guy and overall these perform well and provide great support and comfort for me. Normally I wear running shoes for most things since they are really flexible and usually provide great cushioning. I'd usually wear the running shoes for running, workouts, racquetball, weights etc. Then after 2-3 months max of getting thrashed on I would finish them with more aggressive sports like indoor football, football practice, etc until trashed which in some cases especially for my air max's, it wasn’t long before I popped them. These trainers will definitely last longer for sure. Only possible weak point to me is the rear max air unit which I could pop. I was surprised how soft and flexible these are compared to other cross training shoes I have tried, but also providing much more support for aggressive sports where my running shoes failed. So far these are sweet! They are definitely more suited to my workouts and will save me cash by not tossing trashed out footwear all the time."
