This is the third pair I've purchased, so I'm obviously a fan of these shoes. I purchased them because they were a "Today's Deal." Be aware, no shoe will make your legs look great in and of themselves. I purchased these shoes beacause I have a bad back and arthritic knees. These shoes provide a lot of cushioning and stability and are the only shoes I wear when walking on the treadmill, around the track or the neighborhood. All of my Shape-ups run true to size.
