This is the best shoe EVER for me.  I am not a runner *yet*, but I needed a shoe that would distribute weight across my foot evenly.  I have some nerve issues and a high arch. These shoes support my arch and also support the inside and outside of the foot.  When I tried these shoes on and walked across the room my feet felt GREAT !!  I am so happy with these.  I feel better in these shoes than barefoot !
