I got these because I needed some waterproof shoes that I could run around in without my feet hurting.  These are definitely way too expensive because they come with ice spikes, which I have never needed to use.  You just unscrew the spikes.  The soles are super grippy and textured so they kind of rip up my carpet.  They are very supportive, although I still need to use arch insoles with them.  For some reason, when I use the original insoles, I get cramps in my calves.  They're very cute and have stayed new-looking for over a year. I love the colors.  They're not as cushy as my other Asics, so that was a little disappointing. There's a lot of room in the toes.  No need to order a size up.
