I usually buy discounted sneakers in the $40-$60 range but I really wanted to see what some of the prettier sneakers had and they had amazing reviews so I decided to spend big and try them out. Unfortunately I am very disappointed in them; The midsole support is very uncomfortable as it is unnecessarily tight on the outside of my feet. I was hoping this would soften with some use but these shoes are still quite uncomfortable after about 100 miles. Also, the toe area of the shoe is too loose. I suppose if I were to buy the same shoe again I would go down 1/2 a size from my usual shoe size and have tighter midsole support, but you really don't need to worry about such premium sacrifices. Sneakers.
