LOVE THEM!! I am ordering a second pair before they disappear! A runner's dream these are! I also use the Red Wing molded sole shoe insert with my running shoes. In my opinion, any athlete that takes their running seriously makes certain they have all the proper foot support. It is better to prevent injury than try to heal it after the fact. Also I order a half size larger than usual with this shoe to get the right fit. As far as color, I could care less about the color or design because that part plays no role in my running comfort. Cheers!

UPDATE on MAY 29, 2012**********

I purchased these shoes one 1/2 size larger, as per the other reviewers recommendations, and I found that was a mistake! I should have bought my "true" size, instead. What I did to remedy the situation was use more padded athletic running socks to take up the extra space. However, I would not order a larger size next time.
