I purchased these initially because of the lower price point, my husband needed a new pair of shoes for working out and since I was placing and order for back to school shopping I decided to throw them in my order to get him by. After the first time he wore them he said he felt like he was running on clouds and was happy with them and if they came in other colors to pick up another pair. Did I mention the price was great, he now has 2 pairs and said these are his new favorite for the gym.
