"Larcher, those are pricey running shoes! How do they differ from typical running shoes? "

Yes Dan they are expensive.
In fact Mephiso is making shoes in Sarrebourg, just 10 miles from my home. All is made in France and they are using the best materials available. As the manpower is expensive too, the product cannot be cheap.
Mephisto is famous for their serious hunting and walking shoes. IMO they deserve this flattering reputation.
I haven't yet seen such comfortable running shoes. No kidding, they push You forward. Also, that means that You don't hurt your heels.

Lucky it remains some serious companies despite cheap Asian's that sell cheap rubbish.
