These are my first pair of running shoes I have ever bought & I'm so pleased with them! I went to Big 5 and talked with someone about running shoes & tried some on, just to get an idea. I tried to find the ones I tried on in store, but found these instead and they looked almost identical, so I figured to go for it. They fit really nicely, lots of support and comfort. I used to get blisters with my old shoes, but running in these feels what I always imagined it would feel like!
