I wanted to love these. I formerly had a pair of Vazee pace and thought these would be similar. Unfortunately there is little support toward the arch of the shoe. I tend to pronate some amount - I can run in a neutral shoe but these increased my level of pronation- I knew they would give me horrible shin-splints. So, back they go. Perhaps a good choice if you are an over-supinator. Oh. And go a full size up from street shoe size. The pink and white is not cute but the breathable material seemed nice. The bottoms of the shoes are quite firm qith very little give/cushion
