I ordered these shoes bc of the advertisement regarding lots of cushion in the forefoot, and the design specifically for women's feet, etc.  Got them on time...no issues with shipment.  Order was correct, correct size, and all that.  Want to use them for this aerobic class I take at my gym and for insanity.  I do insanity at home so not that big a deal on the cushion since i have carpet. The gym is hard wood floors and LOTS of jumping which caused painful shin splints on both legs.  I wore these shoes once...and immediately felt the shin splint after only one jump.  Furtunately i had my old shoes with me as a back up.  It's been 3 weeks.  Shin splints have not healed yet.  This shoe have no cushion for high impact activities on hard surfaces.
