I almost hate to ask, but has anyone actually ran in these? Nice price, but I can't imagine they would be good enough for that. They don't have any locally, or I'd stop in and see what they look like. For a casual walking sneaker, they're probably fine, but I recently started running again...after a 20-year hiatus. Let me tell you, it's really hard, "It's difficult, difficult, lemon difficult" (a funny take on "easy-peasy lemon squeezy" from the movie "In The Loop").
I bought some Adidas, Duramo SL2 and Runfalcon 5, for around $32 a pair, and they're not bad, but they're not like the new giant stack shoes of today. Hoka didn't exist when I was into running. All the brands copied Hoka with giant stack heights that are supposed to prevent chronic injury and actually help with aching joints. Makes sense, and I need that, but most of these shoes are well over $100 a pair, and more often over $150. As always, there's a lot of marketing mixed with "you get what you pay for".

Not sure these are for a serious runner, for a casual jog or walking around the neighborhood or park, they are likely fine and comfortable. If you're running a couple of miles a day, invest in some good running shoes. Of course for $12.xx you can try them out and if not up to par for that purpose, just use them for casual going to the grocery store or knock around use and save the pricey running shoes just for running.
