These are awesome. I love my new Blur33's! Now I have to say I've yet to work out in them (just got them yesterday...kickboxing this afternoon!), but I think they will be the ideal XT shoe. I do a variety of weekly workouts including kickboxing, zumba, and elliptical, and these shoes seem to have both the lateral stability, heel cushioning, and shock absorption that I've been looking for. And did I mention they're dang cute? I did research, as well as tried on a number of XT's, and these are the hands down winners. They'd also be just a real cute all-purpose shoe, as well, if that's what you're looking for. I need more supination support for
running, so won't use them for that. They're also nice and wide in the ball of the foot, but narrow enough in the heel to not slip. And Zappos...baby, you rock! Next day delivery as promised. Muuu--wah!
