Yep. I have a pair of the Pearl Izumi shoes, and they are about the best running shoes made. The insides are seamless, and they are extremely comfortable. If you can find a local running shop that is a dealer, you would be best to go in and find out which shoe suits your running style the best. It really does make a difference.

PS I hate running.:wonky2:

Jeremy, do they run big or small in relation to other shoes, or are the sizes pretty spot on?

I wear anything from a 10.5 to a 12, depending on the brand, but usually an 11.5.

Well, I have a pair of Nike running shoes that are 11's, and they are a little tight in the toe area, but the PI are 11's as well, and there is a ton of room. I should have gotten a 10.5 in the Pearls.

Sweet! Earl just bought some new running shoes at Dicks and I bought a new pair for trail running/light hiking. I'll have to show him these though as the pair he bought are white and blue and he wanted darker colors.

Dude, these shoes rock. I can't believe they were only $40.

I had the regular running shoes, and when I saw this thread, I ordered the the ones pictured at the top.
Should be here tomorrow.
I still hate running, but they make great gym shoes as well.

I don't do a whole lot of running either...maybe a couple miles a week on a treadmill. But like you, I wear 'em to the gym.
