These shoes are cushy and awesome while being lightweight. They are supportive but not bulky. I find that Salomon sizing is consistent. Even though they have extra cushion they mold to your foot so that they don't feel like you are walking on an odd platform, as it does on some cheaper shoes. I rated that they have good arch support, which I think they do if you have a normal foot. If you have a pronated foot, I would either get some wedge inserts or try a Saloman shoe that is made for a pronated foot.
