This is my second pair of Minimus shoes.  They are great for flat feet.  If you google Flat Feet and Minimus shoes you will get th technical reason for this.  I purchased them more for comfort and style than for working out, but they do well on long walks.  I have used them at the gym as well - well made, durable and most importantly - comfortable.  I do have a wide foot and the are a little snug, but I just loosen the laces.  The only reason I didn't give them 5 stars is because they are not pink - but more of a salmon color.
