I had the original version of this shoe and wore it out. I have this pair of shoes, it was comfortable from the day I got it. I will be ordering another pair very soon as I already have 200 miless on them. I would say these are medium support. Very light very breathable. The blue and tangerine color is adorable, very bright, but I get tons of comments on them. I realize shoes are a very personal preference, but these are a winner for me.
