About a week ago, I decided to begin the hunt for a pair of decent running shoes.  I had begun walking approximately four miles per day, and the tennis shoes I had rubbed really bad blisters into my feet; it was so bad that after a week, I had to put my walking on hold.  These arrived a day earlier than anticipated, and I was like a kid at Christmas.

First of all, they are beautiful straight out of the package.  The pink is vibrant and the blue (my absolute favorite) is a great accent.  I had to redo the laces because, at least for me, they were too short as they are when they arrive.  That may be due to the fact that my right foot appears to be a little wider than my left - go figure.  Either way, once I laced them how I wanted them, they fit great and are super comfortable.  They aren't too tight either, but they are tight enough that I know they won't just fall off of my feet, which I like.

I am a new runner, so I really had to trust the previous reviewers when it came to these shoes.  I am here to say that I am so very glad I listened and bought these shoes.  As my husband and I begin the Couch 2 5k program together in the hopes that we can participate in Warrior Dash next year, I have no doubt in my mind that these are the shoes for me.  While I am undecided as to whether or not these will be the shoes I wear during the race, I do know they will be the ones I train in - maybe some less pretty ones for the actual event.
