Pros<br />- Color: I have had a hard time finding royal blue athletic shoes for women.  Hoping that the color was truer to the picture than the description, I ordered the &#34;navy/light blue/yellow.&#34;  I think a better description would be &#34;royal blue/aqua/chartreuse.&#34;.  They were exactly the blues I was looking for.<br />- Arch support: If the arch hits in the right spot on your foot, it provides good support.<br /><br />Cons<br />- Arch placement: At first I thought this shoe didn't have any arch support.  Then I pushed my foot forward and realized it was just in the wrong spot.  In this shoe, my normal size (9.5) was long enough but the arch was too far forward. The 9 fit in the right places everywhere else, but my toe hit the end when I ran.<br />- Midsole:  The Ortholite insole was thin but provided decent cushion.  However, the midsole underneath didn’t have much give to it.  I tried different insoles, but ultimately the hard midsole kept the shoe from being comfortable.<br /><br />I sent both sizes back for a refund.<br /><br />In my quest for blue athletic shoes, I also tried New Balance Fresh Foam Boracay in blue/green, Nike Flex Trainer 4 in cobalt, and New Balance W470v4 in blue/green.  I ended up with the W470v4 and bought aqua laces to finish it off.
