Review: Definitely worth a try! - I’ve been running in a pair of Walmart sneakers for months now. Nothing wrong with starting where you can, especially if it involves budget BUT I knew as I continued to add mileage that I was going to need to invest. Not ready to pull the trigger on $100+ and after much research I decided on these and with the sale of $80 something it was too good not to try. I wear a size 5 shoe, sometimes 5.5. Super tiny feet! But I went up to a 6 since it would be my main set of running shoes and the fit is perfect! They are definitely quality and the action of the shoe itself is described fair and was reviewed accurately by everything I’ve seen or read. I knocked out a 6.75mi run on the treadmill and I literally can’t go back to my Walmart sneakers. Just a drastic difference. Major improvement! Highly recommend and were comfortable for the entire run.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great shoes
*by B***R on December 24, 2025*

some of my favorite shoes. My feet are picky and they like these shoes! They are comfortable, look nice, fit great, and make my size 14 feet actually look smaller. Worth the price, and they seem to be holding up quite well.
