Alright last Christmas I got these shoes. They not only looked good but the feel is incredible. The cushion is perfection. I bought another pair for work over the summer. Then I bought another pair for more color options because I wear them everyday pretty much if I'm not wearing airforce or my 270s.

I have been wearing the Paradigms for the last several years, but I figured I would try out these Torins. They are great! A lot of cushion for long miles, but enough firmness to maintain stability. There is a rocker-like feel to them too, meaning the miles are effortless, whether walking or running. Arizona100 miler · REI
