I was excited to try these adidas after New Balance recently increased their prices (I've been running NB for over 15 years). ). They were nice and light and had a good foam cushion. At first they felt great on my feet but as soon as they were worn they started hurting my feet. I think it's because the foam on the sole is too soft, my foot got pushed into the foam quickly and now every time I wear them the arch hurts for an hour. I ended up throwing them in the trash and will not buy them again.
