My family is very picky about shoes.  I purchased it from Amazon, because we have a high rate of returns and not many other online sellers have as smooth and fast  of a return policy as Amazon.  The daughter likes the looks and I like wide toe box.  She won the long jump with them the first time she ever competed in long jump.  Now she added pole vaulting, which they appear to be equally as good.  They are full length cushion, probably with the boost material, and seem to return energy well.  A lot of long jumpers and pole vaulters like to have flat foot landings the last few steps.  Also on the lighter side of most long jump or pole vaulting shoes.
