I'm a pretty large guy (280lb) and I finally decided to get off the couch and start working out.  I decided to do the couch-2-5k routine and needed new shoes.

I have lower-than-normal arches and get "hot spots" at the top of my feet and sides of my feet over time as my feet swell a bit more than a normal sized person.  I tried the Brooks 11 and the arches had too much pressure for my feet and the laces caused a bit more pressure on the top.

However, after looking at many different pairs these GT 2160s were absolutely perfect.  It is true that when you find the right shoe, you just know it.  These are extremely comfortable and my feet still feel amazing after long walks/jogs in them.  They are worth double the price and I highly recommend them.  The size I needed (12, 4E (very wide)) only came in all-black which in all honesty look really cool.  So aesthetically, yes, they look nice but more importantly they are perfect for the large dude finally wanting to lose the large butt.
