Beautiful appearance, not very comfortable. It feels like walking on plywood. I'll have to try getting those gel pads and see if it gets better. Not satisfied, especially for the price. ***Update, well I've run in these shoes with and without gel inserts, they just don't like them. very uncomfortable. They sat in my closet for several months, tried on again and again. you suck Now I just want to give them away. 70 dollars. Big mistake.
