text: I live in Boston and have 2 dogs that love to be out walking with me. I am 70 and have some back and knee issues and need to do a lot of walking  In recent months I have purchased many brands of sneakers. I now wear sneakers every day. I want good quality shoes but am also very style conscious and like my sneakers to coordinate with my clothes and handbags. This pair is my favorite and are widely admired. They are colorful but not outrageous. They are extremely comfortable enabling me to wear them all day/evening. The toe box is not too pointy and not overly round, just right. I thought I was a size 9 but every single pair of sneakers have been a 9.5. Because of a tendency to overpronate  I do  have to put inserts in all my sneakers. The arch support in this shoe may be okay for most people but I always need the inserts.  I also purchased some additional laces: lime green and also deep pink so that I can change the look.
