i am a diligent work-outer in the past 7 years. i own at least 20 pairs of sneakers. some for training, a lot for running., price range from 600 to 100 a pair. but this one perform as good as other top brand and the least expensive one. i love its light wt. bright color & great price. but make sure you order half size bigger.(it's 7 is too small for my midium width,regular 7)a beautiful flash shoe seems make morning work-out easier!
