These are the perfect workout shoe..  I workout out 6 days a week, mostly HIIT and strength and these are so comfortable..  All the jumping up and down and running, I find these to be super shock absorbent. .The ellipitical and treadmill is a breeze with no joint pain or achiness..  I love these shoes, but I suggest getting a half size larger for socks..  Wish the shoe laces were a little longer...and the price was a little lower...
