This shoe literally fits my foot like a glove. I love how it wraps around my flat foot. It is cushiony and lightweight. I am training for a race (amateaur runner)so my old New Balances finally gave out so I found these on Amazon. I picked these mainly for the price and took a chance on the brand RYKA. I have to say I am very lucky to have taken a chance on these shoes. I wore these to walk around in St. Augustine over the weekend and my feet felt AWESOME. I run about 15 miles a week and am in the process of losing weight so my weight is a factor in when I change out my shoes. Again I only buy products/items exclusively from AMAZON.COM the Seller...I do plan on switching these shoes out in another two months or as soon as the tread is gone. Cute shoe.
