I want to start out by saying I'm not a serious runner. I do a couple of miles on the treadmill at the gym 3 times a week so this review may be irrelevant if you are a hardcore runner. These sneakers are super comfy. I have big feet for a woman (size 11) and have a lot of trouble finding sneakers that have the arch in the right spot for my foot. Avia and one other brand are the only ones that seem to fit so far. This sneaker is super light weight. It feels like I don't have anything on my foot most of the time. They have enough cushioning for running on the treadmill. The style is cute enough to wear around, outside the gym. The pink soles are actually brighter than the picture, more of a hot pink. This didn't matter to me but I was expecting them to look light pink from what I saw in the picture. If you are concerned about the color, this may make a difference to you. The black part is mostly mesh material but has some pleather parts, some of it shiny, some not.

For the price, I think I got a great deal on these. I don't expect them to last forever and I don't know if they'd be good for anything other than what I'm using them for but they are perfect for me right now.

For some reason the shoe that shows on my review is not the color that I bought. I got the black/pink version.
