I bought my second pair in July. The back of the heals are worn and the hard insert is showing and giving me blisters. On cloud honored the warranty with no questions and told me to go pick out any pair I wanted at the same price point. The pair I picked was actually $10 more and they didn't make me pay the difference.

So they didn’t work for you, but they’re not garbage because you have fricked up feet.

Second this sentiment.

I wore Adidas cross trainers for years as a youth soccer official. They were just fine, but my feet did bother me after an 8+ hour day. My wife (no pics) wears Brooks and swears by them. She bought me a pair 2 years ago and it was a night and day positive difference. I now get a new pair every Christmas as I put about 500 miles a year on mine. Best shoe I've ever worn.

My wife’s cheap arse would have never bought any until I finally talked her into it. She has back issues and since she’s gotten some, she said she will only buy these until something else comes along. She’s got a new pair in order now for her birthday.

My feet are fine my gait is screwed. I work on my feet all day and have worn pretty much every other brand of sneaker. They are quite literally the only ones who messed me up.

I still prefer some Nike Air Max. New or retro. Just my preference

Maybe I should look into Brooks. I bought a pair of OC and they're ok, but I don't fund them super comfortable. They almost feel cheap. I guess they do the job as my feet don't seem to hurt. I also have a pair of Sketchers Max something and those are very comfortable.

Depends. You have to get the right model. The one you posted is a running shoe and has little to no cushion.

I have about 4-5 pairs. One I wear every day, one I wear to the gym, one I wear to work

These are amazing if you have the BDE to pull it off, and DGAF what others think of you.
