I love these shoes! I am not much of a runner, but I do like a lightweight, comfortable sneaker. This shoe fits the bill and then some. I have had several compliments on the look. It also helps that they feel great on my feet. It is very hot where I live and I love the fact that they are breathable. The material is almost mesh-like, yet tough enough to walk through a briar patch (not that you should do that). The sole is the thickest and softest I have ever felt on a sneaker. The arch support is incredible. These shoes are exactly what I wanted! I could not be happier.
