This is my first pair of running shoes that I bought solely for the gym. I enjoy lifting weights, be they free weights or machines. I don't understand why nobody ever told me to buy running shoes. They are so convenient to work with! I love these sneakers. Great quality and clear look. I'm size 14 and wear orthopedic insoles. I bought 14 and they fit perfectly. They're easily adjusted tighter or looser, so orthotics aren't a factor. I would highly recommend them to anyone looking for a great pair of athletic running shoes. I always wore running or basketball shoes. They are way better and give way more support when I'm lifting weights. Buy it!
