Amazing shoes

By:
July 5, 2012

Do you remember went shoe shopping with your mom when you were a kid and you put on your new pair of tennies and she asked, "Let's see how you run! Wow, those make you run really fast!". Well, these shoes make me run REALLY FAST! I have a super high arch and thought the whole barefoot running thing wouldn't work for me but when I saw these on sale I fell in love with the price and the yellow color and bought them with my heart and not my brain. My heart steered me right and they ended up being the best running shoes I've ever owned. Not only are they confortable and make running feel oh so much easier but I run like a ninja on the treadmill. Silent and stealthy. I am a reluctant runner so anything I can do to make it easier helps. I also have crappy knees and so far the lack of all of the cushion I usually look for hasn't hurt. We'll see how they hold up for the long run. All of this said - I was looking to buy another pair (I like to keep indoor shoes and outdoor shoes) and found this super cute blue pair and snatched them up. Though I got the same size as the yellow ones, the blue are not exactly the same in style. The toe box is smaller and since my 3 middle toes are all the same length and longer than the big one, my #4 toe is pushing out the top. I'm going to go one half size up and see if that works. I'm crossing my fingers!

Winter shoes!

By:

These fit great, and are super light weight. BUT it should be noted that the black/pink and the blue/black shoes are not the same as the white shoes. The two black base ones are winter shoes, are not breathable at all and hav solid sides and tops. While the white ones are mostly mesh and are made for summer. I wish these differences were explained in the product pictures and the description.
