I am using these shoes to get prepped for Air Force BMT and I can't say enough about them! They are exceptionally lightweight, they are not as bright as they look on the Amazon page, and they feel great. The tips of my toes were pretty sore after my first (2 mile) run, but over time that soreness has subsided and I have been running/jogging/walking weekly with no troubles whatsoever. These shoes are terrific for the low price, I highly recommend these. Also, I have no arches in my feet (flat footed) and usually that is an issue with running shoes, but these shoes compensate for that by providing sufficient arch support in the right places.
