Wow! First time buyer of this brand of shoes. My usual go-to shoes were New Balance due to the large toe room as I have fat feet and love more room there. I also buy a size up to accomodate my orthotics from the doctor.<br />Let me start out by saying that the colors of these shoes were vibrant yet not too ostentatious for a 35 year old woman. People won't see me coming for miles ahead! I am not a fan of bright shoes... But these shoes are my everyday wear chasing a newly crawling baby and two older kids on a soccer field. The ease of taking out the insoles of these shoes were easy! Not glued down like other brands but firmly secured so don't worry! Just made it super easy for me to take them out and replace them as needed. (Say for instance I want these to become my lawn shoes when I replace them!) just put back the other insoles and voila!<br />The comfort (not sure I can comment on due to taking original insoles out) is pretty good and comfy. We walked for vacation and took many hours to feel a bit uncomfy in these. I haven't ran in them yet, plan to do that soon so will try to update then.<br />But overall daily use I find them comfy and durable.<br />Looks like these shoes are up and rising! And considering I bought off amazon just based on other reviews, I would highly recommend them. I would also say they run pretty true to size. I would normally buy an 8 due to the orthotics and it was still roomy! So if you like tight shoes these are not for you.
