I was really surprised when I put these on that they are so incredible comfortable. I think it has to do with the mesh all over the sneaker. I bought these for myself to go work out in. Previously, I bought a pair of asics and I felt those did not give me enough support even though they were running sneakers. These provided my soles with just the right amount of support and allow my toes to stretch and move. Too bad I bought them for the gym bc I really do want to wear them every where and everyday.I also ordered a men's pair for my husband bc they are so comfortable. I understand this style has been updated bc I see a higher style number in the stores. That explains why this pair was so affordable. Who cares if its not the latest version. Its stylish and priced right!
