I just received this shoe and am delighted with it. I have problems with my feet with more structured shoes. This shoe provides the support I need but feels like I am wearing nothing at all. I really enjoy this shoe.

I bought these based on another review saying they would be good to use on an elliptical. Well, they're not. ZERO support or cushioning on the balls of the feet- which tend to go numb anyway on an elliptical. I lasted 10 minutes on the machine w/them. Also, they're shockingly cheap- both the quality and look. Seriously, Payless shoes are higher quality. Kelly Ripa should be ashamed of herself hawking this junk. Awful, just awful.

Comfortable, great support, tons of reflectors. If you run in gravel, these may be a poor choice for you, but I really can't think of anything else I don't love about them.

If they are comfortable, then I say keep them - the only reason I returned them is that they look a little cheap once you see them in person.

I ordered these in a size 8 and the inside toe rubbed pretty bad, but I liked them well enough to try a half size up. The 8.5 rubs even worse on the top of my foot. I really like the look and weight of these, theyre very light, but I think they're cheaply made. I'm going to return them for credit, get another brand.
