I have searched continuously for a shoe that would take the impact of my high intensity training and finally I have found it.  This shoe not only stands up to running, but has GREAT support when jumping rope or doing workouts that require jumping - it's safe and impact absorbing landing is second to no other shoe that I have tried.  I would strongly recommend you try these. Because of all the cushioning support, you might have to go a half-size up, but please try it - it is SO WORTH it!!!
