I cannot say these shoes were terrible, but the weren't great either.  They fit ok,  but this particular model has a really light-weight material that somehow felt inferior to other pairs of New Balance I've owned.  They felt ok for running, but I would not suggest runnng a marathon or anything, as they lack support.

The pink accent on the shoe is really cute and very necessary, because the gunmetal grey is really dull without it.  All-in-all, this is a cute summer-weight fashion shoe that over-shoots the mark a bit by calling itself a running shoe.
