While my nimbus shoes with stock soles give me good support for running and walking, I want to get the maximum comfort and stability since I do still get some pain when I run. I didn't want to pay $50 for a pair that may not help much so I settled on this which gets so many good reviews. I was surprised the soles are so stiff and even with my super high arch feet, the they are too high and press against my arches. However, that went away after a few hours of walking. As for running, it doesn't hurt nor give me any additional pain on my feet. However, I have a few blisters on my heels because the stiff edge around the heels. I don't recommend this at all. I already bought the Sof Sole Arch Support which give a lot of cushion but again, it doesn't help with the stability when running. Oh well.
