I've been doing insanity for 3 weeks now and I was working out in bare feet and messed up my arch which caused severe ankle pain. So that's when I decided to get these shoes. They are amazing! My ankles are still hurting but I've only had these for two days. Whether I'm walking or training it feels so light and comfortable for my extremely high arch. I have no doubt that in the next week my pain will be gone. Great shoes, highly recommend!
