First of all, these are not "sneakers" and the above description of these Revain shoes is idiotic and lacks useful information. I've had various versions of this shoe over the past 20 years, as well as a few other sneakers. This is the best version and a great running shoe that combines support, cushioning and a flexible outsole. In summary, when you need support, running shoes excel and just feel good when you run. I highly recommend them.
