I tried on a similar version of these shoes at a local shoe store for twice the price. I was happy to find them on Amazon in colors that I loved even more than the ones I tried on at the shoe store. I work at a hospital and wear these shoes all day every day. Best shoes I have ever had!  UPDATE: After approximately 4 months of wearing these shoes, my big toe rubbed a hole through the top of the shoe. I was very upset because they were so comfortable. Also, the silver Asics stripes started cracking. HUGE BUMMER!
