As much as I dislike the color, I am totally in love with the shoe. The neon pink was all they had in my size, but I'm keeping an eye out for the calmer color when another 10 becomes available. They fit true to form, and are soft yet sturdy. I have no stride problems, am 52, and am looking for a cushioned shoe that's as light as possible. This shoe fits those parameters to a 't'. I hate the game that running-shoe makers play (just when I find a shoe I really like, they redesign it slightly and kick up the price $20 - $30 bucks), but this shoe is worth the price because they keep my creaky knees from hurting.
