My husband doesn't run, but he's a dairy farmer and is on his feet all day so he needs a nice supportive shoe. He loves these sneakers!! They have great arch supports! His feet are also wet all day, so he needs a shoe that holds up well. The seams on these have held up better then any shoe he's ever owned. One month and still going strong. He liked them so much he had me buy him the last 2 pairs in his size!!
