I was really hoping to like these shoes more. I saw them on a fitness blog I follow and they are so cute for the price. However, overall they're just okay. The padding isn't great inside and the overall support isn't there. I feel it immensely in my calves and knees while running. I love the sole look (outside) and the tongue fit - I wish all workout shoes had tongues "built-in" like this one, as they're much more comfortable and don't shift. Overall, though, next time, I'll spring for the Nike outlet store and pay just a bit more to get the quality I like.
