I am currently using the shoes to work in, I have not run in them yet. They are light and comfortable to work in and I am on my feet at least 8 hours during a shift. I have a big problem with plantar fasciitis. I hesitated getting these shoes because they do not elevate the heel as recommended with my condition. However, I got them anyway because of other reviews I had read, my feet still hurt throughout the day. One of my favorite things about the shoe is that they are wide at the forefoot area. No squished toes and should be good for running. I ordered a 9 and could have worn an 8.5 because they are roomy. In all, these shoes are comfortable and I like them but I don't expect them to cure my painful feet.
