These shoes are very light and offer just enough support for road running.  I have a low arch and find these shoes very comfortable during the first 10 or so 5-10 mile runs.  These shoes feel particularly at home on the track which I have been running on to save my knees a little. The insole do seem a little thin and if the quality was a little better I would have given them 5 stars.  The fact they are Made in the USA is a nice perk Thank you New Balance.
