Id been searching for new shoes getting back into running and have bought 5 pairs from various brands over the last 3 months. Nothing was working for me. These have saved my feet, and calves! They have just the right amount of drop, are not to soft not to firm, and are very breathable with some upper support. Perfect shoe for me! I will buy again! The purple is a really nice colour hopefully we get more bright fun colours for women in the future
