In the other thread, I praised the MT101's in particular: super lightweight, very collapsable heel box, unstructured uppers. They look more like normal shoes than a lot of the others. I've been running regularly in them about 3 miles, and have not had any problems. Just did a 5k faster than I thought I would. Overall I am very happy with them, and would recommend them for both travel purposes and for general fitness use.
