After buying some minimalist style shoes (and possibly getting tendonitis from wearing them,) I decided to check out the New Balance website to see what kind of shoes I should be wearing. Seems since I am flat footed, I need some stability in my shoes, not the barefoot feel.These have a some stability in them, so I thought I would try them.Aside from being comfy as anything, my feet and ankles do not hurt after wearing them. This is a huge plus for me.The color is not exactly pink, more like a very bright/neon pink/orange. The dark purple/blue color is accurate.Not what I was hoping for, but they don't hurt me, so the "right look" idea is tossed out the window.I can run, walk and just do anything in them. It is really exciting.They seem to be lasting pretty well (I have had them about 6 months) and I use them every day for the evening walk and no obvious wear is showing, yet.I keep checking the heel area to see if the cushioning is declining, it seems to be ok so far.They are mesh on the front, so if it is wet, your socks and feet get wet fast.
