I work out quite a bit and also got a new puppy with a lot of energy that needs to go for a walk or a jog both morning and night.

I have good running shoes but was struggling with heel pain from overuse. These shoes support a slightly different stride and movement and are more structured than regular athletic shoes. They also have a lot of give and support throughout the sole and arch which helps me with foot strike and pronation. Overall I have much less pain and find that they stretch out my calves and hamstrings with their negative heel position. They take a bit of getting used to but I am very pleased and plan to buy other pairs in different colors since they were so reasonably priced.
