I bought these shoes because they were rated to have great arch support for athletics and running.
I participate in very intense fitness challenges where we are running, jumping, climbing stairs, kick boxing, weight lifting, doing boot camp type drills, and cross fit drills.  These works outs are very strenuous, and take a toll on the body.  I was having trouble with my feet and calves being strained due to lack of arch support.
After I bought these shoes all my strain pain dissappeared within a week, and still maintaining 8, 1 hour long work outs in 6 days each week!  These shoes are very comfortable, they are built strongly, and have provided the support that my feet needed to excel at the fitness challenges!  I would highly recommend these shoes to anyone who works out or runs for extended periods of time.  The shoes do not rub, are light weight, and very breathable, my feet do not over heat and swell in these shoes!
Love them, I think I am going to buy a second pair just to keep on hand for my next fitness challenge!
