For over pronators only! I got this shoe in pink and black because I thought it was cute. I do not over pronate at all, but I was not quite sure what that was and I thought the shoe looked normal so I figured I would try it anyway. At first they were comfortable, but after a while I could feel a lot more pressure than I needed on the outer part of my feet. The soles have extra support for the arch, not on the inside of the shoe but actually in the sole. Great for over pronators but not so great for us normies. The shoes were of great quality, very comfy on the inside, not crazy seams, just not for my feet.

I hit a double whammy this week when 2 pairs of 8W shoes came in quickly and they were both super comfy. The Asics Gel-105, in pink metallic, was one pair. I have been having a hard time finding a pair of good shoes to walk/run in that don't hurt my little toes. My little toes can fan out here because the way the shoe is made, the toe touches the fabric not the seam. I tried a pair of NB, but just did not work. My little toes were killing me being pinned in by a hard seam. The cushioning is great, I feel steady on my feet and they are lightweight as well. So my feet will be giving these shoes 5 stars with an extra thank you from 2 of the littlest piggies. The other shoes were Rieker in a great pewter color that will go with everything. I will post a review for these as well. I am a teacher getting ready for the school year and these shoes will be my favorites for the fall, I am sure.

I bought the Asics Gel 105 in silver and pink. This is a great shoe. Like walking on cotton balls. I have had foot surgery and it is hard now to find shoes that fit. Zappos is so good to take back the shoes and you can not beat the service. Got them the next day. You will love these shoes, just take it from a shoe junkie. They felt true so size.

Love the shoes. They are exactly what I want. However it is true that color does make a difference in size. The Black and Pink ones fit GREAT. But the Mint and White ones I had to send back, they did not fit right at all. They were same size same width same style, odd.

I love these sneakers. I have knee problems and I slightly over pronate. I've always worn New Balance, but recently I started running again seriously and the NB were just not cutting it. These are really a huge improvement and I adore how light-weight they are. I'm an Adidas fan also, but a pair I was interested in just felt too heavy. Admittedly I don't love the minty color, but whatever, they serve the purpose I aimed for.

Very comfy -
I like the Asics shoes because they tend to have more room in the toe box than other athletic shoes. I always a half-size larger though because they tend to feel too short.

Great fit. Nice and wide in the toe box, but cups a narrow heel nicely. Got mine in mint/silver/black and it looks great.

AWESOME SHOES -
I love these shoes. I highly recommend them to anyone who is a mild to over-pronator, looking for running shoes. They are so comfortable and light weight.

Great shoe -
I have never been a runner, but I have taken it up to get rid of weight after having a baby. I have flat feet, and opted for these as a low priced stability running shoe-and in wide sizes no less! I have run every day this week with no pain. Usually by this point, my right hip would be hurting so that I could barely walk. I highly recommend this shoe for joggers with flat feet.

I love these shoes! I am not a runner, but I am a nurse and these are by far the most comfortable shoes to wear when I'm on my feet for 12+ hours! I wish Zappos had them in more colors!

I love these shoes! They are so comfortable. They seem to over correct a little bit but my knees have healed so much using them!

EXCELLENT FOR FOOT PROBLEMS!!!
I was recently told I have plantar fasciitis (the beginning of heel spurs). It is so very painful and has really altered my entire life. I cannot walk or stand for very long. This has been more difficult on my youngest son who is 4. I cannot tell you how desperate I was to stop the pain. I read up on my condition and it said that I needed to find a shoe with good support and good arch support to reverse the condition and to alleviate the pain. I also needed a shoe with wide width. I found this shoe here on Zappos and when I got them I tried them on and immediately felt better. I can now walk more and am not limping my mid day. I have to wear these everyday and I don't mind because these shoes are cute and comfy!

Good for senior citizen feet -
The delivery time was very quick. I attend a lot of my grandchildren's sporting events. These shoes feel and look good and make climbing away game bleachers more secure. They are a good walking shoe.

My best athletic shoe ever!
I love these shoes!!! They are the most comfortable shoes! Excellent for walking! I also run in them on city sidewalks, They are ok for this but I am also new to running so I don't have anything to compare them to.

Great shoes -
I found these shoes when I visited a friend in Texas last year and they were so comfortable that I had to get another pair. I thank you for sending them so quickly. I am a cashier and I am on my feet for 8 hours a day.
Thank you!

Great for runners -
I love these shoes! I am a pretty serious 4 - 5 x's per week runner and have done a few 5k's. These sneakers are light and comfortable with lots of padding and support. They look feminine too, with little "girlie" details. I wear an 11 and they fit perfectly. No size up or down needed for me. Have fun girls and run!!

 |  | Hi Fabulous Zappos Team: Allow me to introduce myself, my name is Barb and I just finished reading an absolutely delightful article about your company and corporate culture. I was so genuinely impressed that I wanted to send you all a note of thanks. Thanks for being the genuine article! My entire adult work life I have tried to promote a happy, customer focused work environment. While I have always been extremely productive from being authentic and caring, certain supervisors looked at my ways as being suspect and a little weird. Yes, it's true they felt a respectful, caring attitude was a waste of time and actually did not care if their current customers were satisfied. How they didn't equate that current happy customers equals monetary success now and later through referrals is still beyond me. They also never "got it" that their incredibly high employee turnover cost them dearly. Trained, happy people produce positive results. I worked with a company as a manager for the past 8 years that went through 29 managers in the 2 locations closest to me in my 1st two years of employment. Finally I decided to leave after not being able to effect positive change in my boss. Amazingly at Zappos the positive goes CEO down and back up - way to go! Being the eccentric optimist I am, I left my job and figured I'd have a great job in no time. Unfortunately, I am still looking for a positive, proactive position and was getting a little blue until I read the article tonight about Zappos. The great news is that my faith has been restored. There actually is a company that values what is really important and not just in a PR lip-service kind of way. I wish you all enormous success, big bucks, and happiness. I hope that your corporate culture spreads out like wild-fire to other businesses so that people like me who live it and believe it can experience it in our careers. If my husband wasn't off serving in Iraq, I'd probably be there beating down the door for a job, but it is in extremely bad form to sell the house and move away while the husband is out of the country for a year.
I most sincerely appreciate: Your Zappos core values that you really follow. Your supporting your employees to learn more, be happier
and spread happiness. And that you promote customer service, not the usual customer DIS-service people I often get on the phone. P.S. Here are 3 of my Barb-ism's 1. Manners and smiles are free - so everyone should have them. 2. Mr. Smiley face is the most handsome man I have ever seen (my apologies to any male models at your company) 3. You can never go wrong with shoes! Cordially, Barb Y. |  | ~ Barb Y., August 25 2009
