The good: They are roomy in the toe box and very light weight. I do like the less thick sole as it seems to offer less squishy feeling I get with my other running shoes.  I also like the snug fit around the foot but wish they were just a tad wider thru mid foot.  The bad: They run small! I usually wear a 9 but ordered a 9.5 as I read they were small.  I am not used to the back part that hits just above your heel being so high.  I can't wear my no-show socks as these make them work their way off the heal over time.  I was also surprised that the inserts are not removeable.  I took a chance and carefully tore them out to use my custom inserts.  The inserts they provide were very thin piece of foam, offer no arch support and cheaply made. Once I had my inserts in they felt much better.  The beautiful:  The photos do not show how pretty these shoes are.  There are pink metallic panels on the side under a black netting which do not show up in the pics. When the light hits them the pink pops out!  Also the heel has small cut outs with pink showing thru.  I love black and pink so these were a bonus once I open the box!  All in all a good shoe for the money.  I will most likey wear them to run errands and to the gym.  I don't see them working for running or fast walking for me.
