Excellent support for running. I found these quite comfortable from the first moment I put them on. I usually like to wear shoes in a little before really testing them, but I put these shoes on and went for a 2.5 mile run and they felt great. My feet weren't sore at all. They have all the support that I was looking for in a running shoe and they were very breathable. Is there anything more inspiring than a new pair of running shoes?! Bonus, they look really pretty!
