My son turned me on to the minimus shoe this summer.  This is the third pair of NB Minimus's that I have bought and I love them.  I am a special education teacher and am constantly moving around and yes running with my students all over our large high school campus.  We have a very strong Special Olympics program and these shoes have been my saving grace so far this year.  I have not turned my ankle once so far and that is a miracle in its self.  I have a high arch and a 4A heel and have not had any problems with arch discomfort or heel blisters thanks to unique heel padding. Must also add that they are very fashionable and I get complements on them daily. They run true to size,wash great and dry quickly.  Light weight for packing when traveling as well. Love them!!!!<a data-hook="product-link-linked" class="a-link-normal" href="/New-Balance-Women-s-WX20-Minimus-Training-Shoes/dp/B007TKKI3I/ref=cm_cr_arp_d_rvw_txt?ie=UTF8">New Balance Women's WX20 Minimus Training Shoes</a>
