Although I had never heard of this brand I decided to give it a try and see what I think. I have flat feet which causes lower back pain so it is important that I have shoes with proper arch support. I've been wearing this shoe for several months when I go to the gym and have found it to fit me well. The arch and lateral support are good and comfortable to wear. Aesthetically, they're not my favorites, but that's an individual taste preference. I'm not a big fan of the plastic piece behind the heel, but it's no big deal. I'm not a runner and to be honest I wasn't aware that they have reflective properties for a while until I accidentally dropped out. at night when headlights hit them and I saw them suddenly reflecting light. I see this as a great feature for those running at night as it greatly increases visibility. This is a quality, comfortable pair of running shoes that offer excellent arch support. I recommend ordering one size smaller than usual as they tend to run large. Impressive shoes.
