I absolutely love these shoes. I had some Asics running shoes that I liked, but they were a little heavy. I also had some Saucony's that were extremely painful, because they have no arch support. These are lightweight, comfortable, and absolutely adorable. I actually got mine on clearance at DSW, so they were only $44, but I absolutely would have paid full price for them, and I absolutely will pay full price for them when I need to replace them.
