Started running last year.  I was looking for runners which were not too expensive to start out with.  They were the first pair I tried on that seemed to fit the through the middle of my foot and completely fit up under my arch.  I have worn them out.  I've tried 2 pair of sneakers by different brands since then but have now decided to purchase 2 more pair of these online.  The only negative is that inside upper part of the heel had worn through sooner than I had expected.
