These running shoes are extremely comfortable and have great cushioning. My feet are narrow and these fit perfectly! The mesh material is well woven and for someone who runs and walks a whole lot, they are breathable in the North Carolina humid heat (if you know, you know lol). They don't feel sticky at all. I also have to say I like the simplicity in design...not flashy at all for a big kid's shoe. The tread is great for running on the road as well. 5 stars all round!
