text: I purchased these about a week ago. They came well packed and gave every indication of being new. While the price was more than ten dollars more than what I've been paying for Dr. Scholl's running shoes, I was glad to pay it. The online outlet for my super store would have taken at least a week longer to be delivered.<br /><br />First let's have the good news. I like the color (white &amp; light gray), which has not been available in this brand of running shoes at our local super store for several months. Unfortunately, most of the rest of what I have to tell you is not so good. I' ve been buying Dr. Scholl's running shoes at our local super store for a couple of years now. Being retired and fairly active, these are the shoes I tend to wear daily. I have no issues what so ever with the quality of Dr. Scholl's running shoes. All of my running shoes are ten and one-half, including the pair being reviewed.<br /><br />The problem is in the fit. The local super store sells wide width as opposed to medium width (width of the Amazon purchase). That being said, the main problems looks and feels like the length, not the width. I've included a picture of the new and old shoes, although the relative tightness associated with the new shoes is demonstrably more noticeable than the picture would suggest. The new shoes feel a bit tight, although not to the point of being substantially uncomfortable. They do become uncomfortably tighter when I had an additional Dr. Scholl's heal gel pad. My older pair has both a second full length gel pad and heal pad without feeling the least bit tight. I like the additional padding because I sometimes walk several miles a day.<br /><br />My solution is avoid buying these from Amazon again. Another solution might have been to have ordered these shoes in at least a half size larger. Since I don't want to make a career out of buying shoes, I'll settle for a less than desirable color in a pair of Dr. Scholl's running shoes at our local super store. By the way, the automated feedback from Amazon suggested that a fair number of folks found their shoes to be somewhat small as well. This experience in no way changes my high opinion of Amazon, although I won't be buying any shoes in the future where I can't try them on before buying.y the way, the automated feedback from Amazon suggested that a fair number of folks found their shoes to be somewhat small as well.
