These are nice sneakers, however I bought them for running and got my first heel spur.  Now...can I blame them totally for the spur, probably not, but I can say that I have been a runner/jogger for almost 20 years and I have always bought Nike...expensive sneakers for running because they work and I have never had a problem, but these did not offer the support that I needed...hence...the heel spur...these are nice, but I am going back to spending the money for a very good pair of running shoes...
