I loved the look, cushioned comfort, and support of these shoes.  I had to return them, though - because they were too big (I wear a 10 in other Asics shoes but for some reason these were big) and also because when my toes bent back (planks, push-ups, etc.) the heavier support plastic on the side caused the shoe to bend weird and pinch my toes.  I wanted to use these for Insanity but with all the up and down and toe-bending it was just not going to work.
