text: These are the first pair of stability shoes that I've ever purchase and I'm left wondering why I haven't done so sooner! These are so comfortable for walking, running or cross training at the gym.<br /><br />I have flat (read: non-existent) arches and therefore slightly wide feet. These are the first running shoes I have purchased that don't place odd pressure or pinch anywhere on my foot and provide really good arch support. Every step I take is cushiony and provides a little bit of a bounce/lift to my stride, which makes running (my least favorite exercise) a little more appealing.
