The style of these shoes and the price are what inclined me to buy these. They're so cute with the polka dots. To call them running shoes is a bit of a stretch. Like others have mentioned, the toe box on these shoes are very wide and that's saying a lot because I have wide feet. My feet shift around a lot in them while I'm walking. I wear an 8 in all of my running shoes and I could've easily purchased a 7-1/2 because these fit so loose.They're comfortable but not as supportive in the front of the shoe as I was hoping. For the price, though, I'll add some shoe inserts and be happy with them as a walking/casual athletic shoe. This is my first Adidas shoe purchase so I didn't know what to expect. For casual use, I like them a lot. They're really cute. However, if you're looking for a more supportive running athletic shoe, these are not for you.
