I gave these 4 stars b-cuz I love the color! I followed other reviewers' advice & bought a size larger. They were absolutely correct! Thank you. I bought these shoes for jazzercize. When I searched for either aerobic or dance shoes (quite a while back now), these came up as cross-trainers. They're titled running shoes. For me personally, I added arch support. I have high arches. I don't know the type support differences needed between running/jazzercize but these are probably not useful as top-of-the-line dance shoes. In any event, I love them so much I alternate them with some discontinued Asics I bought that were top-of-the-line aerobic shoes. I've gotten many, many compliments on these shoes!
