Kswiss Tubes Switch?

buhller

When I started running 2 years ago, I fell in love with Asics Kayanos -- mostly on the advice of my local running store, after they did the gait analysis and found that I'm an overpronator (which isn't a huge surprise, since I'm flat-footed). While I was increasing distance over the last year, I had some issues with hip bursitis and Achilles tendonitis. I've now been completely injury-free for months, including before and after my half-marathon, and am planning to run a full in April (starting training the day after Christmas).

My question is this: I was in the mall yesterday, and happened upon the new Kswiss Tubes from Jillian Michaels. They're really firm inside, and I imagine the tubes feel pretty springy on the road. I like the look of the shoes, and they're a LOT lighter and cheaper than the Kayanos, but I also know that Jillian is not a distance runner...so I'm a little hesitant to try them.

Any 20+ mile/week people out there tried them? Are they worth a switch?
