These shoes have a great energy absorption system and feel great! Can't comment on durability yet, but will be ordering another pair in a day! It comes with TWO extra panels for fine-tuning and extra arch support when you need it AND they also give you an extra set of laces. The toe box was roomy and the heel is really quite different from other running shoes. I recommend that you take the time to carefully measure your feet before you buy - this is obviously important. In any case, when the sneakers fall apart after six months I'll still feel like they saved my poor flat feet from numerous aches and I'll buy another pair. FINAL THOUGHTS: try these sneakers, they seem to be good value for the money.
