Brooks Pure Cadence Running Shoes

I love my new road running shoes. They're minimalist, comfortable and loud as hell. The heel is squishy, so I get the little bit of comfort I probably don't need. They're very supportive, although would be destroyed within minutes on a trail. I overdid it on tonight's first run in a long time, but no shin splints. That tells me I'm on to something good. I have secret aspirations to run a marathon someday (even a half marathon would be a big deal for me) but for now I'm just galloping around the neighborhood at night to Depeche Mode songs.

$120 at REI. I tried to order from Brooks directly, in Pullman, Wash. but they were out of stock. Also, they run quite small. My size 9.5 gunboats fit a 10.5 comfortably.
