I love the style of these shoes! They point to old school Adidas esp. with the white stripes on black color choice. They remind me of a samba on a suspension system. I really want to wear these and love them but they are very narrow and there is minimal arch support. The heel feels locked in place and I'm confident with the stable feel. But I do not love the lack of arch support as I have very high arches. For serious activities I think I'll stick with my New Balance and use these for casual with jeans.
