I have these in the purple color. I'm not sure why people complain every time a new model comes out that the new version isn't as good as the last, but it happens EVERY time, so I just ignore that aspect of reviews, honestly. I would try them on in a store and make sure they are the right type of running shoe for you BEFORE buying them, as not everyone has the same kind of foot. Personally I need the arch support and a lot of shoes hurt my feet but I've had no problems in these. My boyfriend has the next model and wears them to work where he stands for 12 hours or more continuously and says they are very comfortable.
