I tried these on at my local Kohls...and forgot which size I tried on! I ordered an 8.5 and am praying that was the size I tried on and not a 9! What I noticed immediately was that they had nice arch support. They were $65 on sale at the store; figured I would try Amazon and see ...and whoa! Much better price. I tried on the bright yellow/pink and ordered black because I detest dirty shoes! Light, comfortable, didn't walk out of ankles/heels. They are very light but with the great arch support, which I need; I am going to be very happy with them. The front of them was paper thin, but feel like they will hold up well; for walking and treadmill. Not like other Asics that are extremely heavy! So for this price point, can't be beat! Amazon rocks!
