I'm a kickboxing instructor and have a very had time finding sneakers that are comfortable and provide good support and I'm always very hesitant about ordering sneakers online.  This turned out to be a great purchase.  These sneakers were comfortable from the start.  I didn't have to "break them in" and hope they would get more comfortable the more I used them.  They're light weight but supportive.  They have good cushioning.  They allow for easy pivoting when kicking.  Good arch support but I'll probably put additional arch support inserts for more comfort.  Great sneakers.  Will definitely purchase again in the other color.
