Review: These are my goto tennies - Finally great fitting shoes with a decent arch. I actually bought a pair last year but ordered one size smaller. I still wore them. They felt great. Light, soft and with a good arch. Now with the correct size these are my goto tennis shoes.
Review: Good arch support and cushioning. Size up by 1/2. - I’ve been wearing this brand and similar styles for years. Initially, I started because of my long hours at the gym working to lose weight and get in shape as a middle-age person. Then, I realized my knees were so bad that changing shoes could cause pain so I always try to get something as close to my favorite as possible. There are two things that are super important to me. The first is a lot of cushioning because I have zero cartilage in my knees. The second is good arch support and fit that holds my feet in the right place so that my knees are aligned as as well as as they can be. These shoes fit the bill! They’re quite similar to my last two pairs with the noticeable difference being I needed a size 10 instead of a 9 1/2. I’m thankful prior reviewers notice this so I didn’t end up returning these for a larger size and got 10 to start with! The one thing I noticed, which is really just kind of comical is when I look down at my feet, the profile looks snatched in the midsection of the shoe. Part of that is the optical illusion because the white portion of the soul of the shoe is flared out from the black portion, and the other part is just a function of the arch support giving the appearance that the midsection of my foot is actually much smaller. I will say when I initially put these on, I was skeptical because I felt like the heel portion was not going to be high enough and stay on. I don’t know why it felt that way at first, but once I started walking, it was fine. Possibly just the feel of a new Spring issue instead of my old pair. Also, just a note in case it’s important, if you love the smell of the new tires as you walk out of Costco, you’re going to love these shoes! (yes I’m one of those strange people that think that the tires smell great. It has to be some sort of nostalgia.). The first time I wore, I did go to Costco and my whole car smelled like new tires. I didn’t smell them so much when I was walking around Costco and then Walmart although I could but definitely in the car they’re smelly. I’m assuming this will go away but for me it doesn’t make any difference. However, I know some people are sensitive to odors so it’s on the. “ good to know list”. Chances are throwing them in the laundry will remove the outer
