The world of running and cross training shoes can be confusing and expensive. I found these shoes after a long search and didn't want to spend more than 100 euros on shoes. I had to return the first pair as the insole didn't hold up during my first workout. The insole creaked and seemed to tear. However, they fit so well, are priced right and are comfortable, I traded in a pair that must have been defective and am glad I stayed with them.
