Very cute shoe.  However, I wouldn't say it's for running.  The support is poor.  I bought them because I'm on my feet most of the day at work and comfort is important.  They are just ok.  The one thing I'm really unhappy with is that I constantly trip in these shoes.  It's as if the bottom of the shoes catches the ground no matter if its carpet, vinyl or pavement outside. I've had this happen with other shoes, so I'm thinking it will get better once the bottoms are roughed up a bit more.  Oh, and the shoe laces are really short.  I'm used to double tying my shoes, but you're lucky to barely make a bow with the length of these laces.  The more I think about it, the more disappointed I am.  And Amazon has me hooked because I hate bothering with a return. Think before buying these shoes.
