text: I would not buy these shoes again.  You get what you pay for.  I am a medium distance runner and bought them based on the reviews.  They feel like cardboard and are not comfortable.  I typically run in a Gel thus thought I would be ok.  these are like sale shoes from Marshalls.  I went for a run and immediately regretted not wearing them around my house first.  They would be ok to do errands in.
