Yeah, they're pretty popular. I've never worn a pair, however.

One feature to consider is the 6MM heel drop. I rather like the zero drop in my Altra Lone Peak 4.

I was just curious how you came to like a 0 drop shoe. if it was thru research on impact injury or if you just liked the feel. |

Anything below about a 7mm drop and i start feeling it in my Achilles. |
