Nike Run Defy

Looking for a sneaker not too over priced and would last a few years, mainly for walking and gym. Silver swoop on the black means it will match a lot of wardrobe items.

The first, most obvious issue was that the laces are too short - There's barely enough to tie them into a bow. Then it was clear pretty quickly that there's not enough arch support. I tried adding small arch inserts on top of the original insert, but there's not enough depth in the shoe to allow for that - the arch and my foot cannot both fit inside. Then I tried removing the original inserts and putting in more supportive ones. Again, with the thicker inserts, my foot feels like it's being pushed up out of the shoe. The shoes also gape open near the top lace holes every time I take a step. Overall, these are the worst Nikes I've owned. I understand why they were cheap. I've been mostly continuing to wear my old sneakers because these just aren't it.

So comfortable! Feels like walking on a cloud!
