I am just getting into running. Since I have increased to 3-4 mile runs each day, I was noticing that my old shoes just weren't cutting it anymore. I went to a shoe store, where I discovered that I have a high arch to my foot, and I under-pronate. I have never had shoes this comfortable before! They are probably the most expensive shoes I have bought, but I think it is money well spent. Running is much more enjoyable with a shoe that fits well. I would recommend these shoes to anyone who is looking for a plush, comfortable shoe with good arch support.
