i really love the runners. this pair is great. i am every day in training, 1.5 - 2 hs, may be odd w-end - off. so i change my runners @ 2 times a year, - those that are used in gym only. this particular pair i bought for my gym purposes. i do half- weight training- half - cardio, so i tried to balance the comfort for these puropses. normally i would go for Reebocks that are perfection for me in the fitting and flexibility department, - but i am really considering this pair as the rivals'of Reebock! why i bought this pair u may ask me- i normally buy 2-4 pairs in advance, i like to stock up, - so i can use the ones that not for the gym- for walks, every day routine things or my mum can take any pair that in my storage- as we are the same size. plus the price was really amazing! i am having a standard size 7, not wide, nor skinny, just balanced. so the runners are like a 'glove', - foot feels very comfortable, very good and flexi arch support, 'springy'feeling, - interior is lovely and white with purple. if i would be asked - would i buy them again- definite - YES.
