Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

I run 5 miles 3-5 days a week. I was looking for new running shoes that also fit in a budget. My Skechers style was updated/discontinued and I kept reading that ASICS brand were highly rated. I’ve never tried but will be skeptical to try again. I’m no marathoner by any means, but I’ve never had a foot hurt so much after running in this shoe. No arch support and the bottoms of my feet were killing me. Being in physical pain while running is not what it should feel like. The soles feel like there’s no shock absorption so it’s like running on concrete with no relief. The fit/size was as expected but the shoes have been thrown in a box after trying to break them in over multiple runs and still being in pain after running. I tried to add memory foam insoles and I think it just made it worse. I really really wanted to like these shoes but I listen to my body and they fell short of expectations. I think they would be comfortable as fashion/walk around shoes but aren’t equipped for any really exercise.
