They also haven't really hopped on the neon colorway bandwagon to the degree other athletic shoe manufacturers have, and they make a lot of support shoe options. They tend to be priced similarly to other quality shoes and they last nigh unto forever.

Personally I find I need lightweight, minimal-ish shoes with springy soles to keep shin splints at bay, and that's the one thing they don't do well so I stick with Saucony. But if support shoes are your thing they'll keep your feet happy.
