Good heel and ankle
Latest update: Best shoe quality/comfort on the market for the price as far as I can see. I have relatively narrow feet, so it might be different with wider feet. I'm at 2-3 years with these shoes. Ordered a 4th pair of the black version (which is physically different than the red, so keep that in mind). The first 3 pairs I bought size 12 since that's the size that has always fit me well on previous shoes, but I realized on the last size 12 pair that I felt slightly limited on toe room, so when I saw the black version was on sale for $50 for a size 13, I jumped at that. So now I have a black size 13 and it fits super well, so these might run just a tad small relative to other shoes, not sure.Another almost 2 year update: So I've bought 3 pairs total so far. 2 solid black pairs, and 1 pair of the black/red. The black/red pair is NOT the same type as the solid black pair, so beware of that. The solid black pair is a better quality pair, softer, has the nice grip at the heel for putting on. So 5 stars for the solid black pair, 2-3 stars for the black/red pair.Update: My first pair of these I bought over a year ago is really nice. Has good padding, and the stuff I mentioned in the review below. I'd give the first pair 4-5 stars.I bought a second pair and it's a bit different. The tab on the back is removed (which I'm fine with), but the padding on the bottom (which is what really counts) feels not as soft, definitely feels a bit harder. So for now I'm probably not going to go for a 3rd pair, and I'll give the second pair 3 stars since it is OK, but worse than the earlier one I bought.Original review:The good:I buy size 12 most of the time and these in size 12 fit very well for me. Heel and ankle areas very comfortable, and heel/shoe bottoms have good spongey suspension which I find very nice.The not so good:The knitting that supports the laces and upper area is coarse and is knitted into the inside. This causes the top of the foot near the toes to get cut on a bit when walking. My solution so far is to wear thick socks, or 2 pairs of socks.I also noticed the inner side of my left heel was being hurt. This seems to be because the inner part of the shoe around the heel where the bottom meets the side is very coarse and unpadded. The liner is nice, but where the liner stops, and the side of the shoe starts, there is hard material that can dig into the side of my heel a bit.5 stars easily if not for these two issues. 4 stars with them, which is still a decent review coming from me I think.

Great product
My work demands me being on my feet atleast 9 hours not to mention traveling to and from work. When I get home my feet feel pretty beat up so I had to look into getting some cushioned shoes. Got these and they're the most comfortable shoes I ever put my feet into.My steps felt very bouncy and full of life. The best part about this shoe is the stylish look that comes with the comfort. I avoided "running" shoes all my life because they normally look so ugly in the most unattractive colors and designs known to man, but these are actually something I proudly wear with style. Shoe does feel half a size small though if you're wearing thick socks, but yea I now get home with my feet in 50% better shape and if u don't be on your feet as long as me (11 plus hours a day) then you'll have even better effects

Great when new but didnt last as long when on long shifts
So i got these because i started working 12 hour shifts for the first time and my Adidas i always wore daily and had for the last couple years were wore out i heard these were very comfortable through long shifts so i gave them a shot they helped so much it was unbelievable, then one day i changed into a newer pair of Adidas i had i was wrecked by the end of my shift due to the simple fact i didnt have proper support which these sneakers actually provide me i wear these every day now everywhere i go and im thinking of picking up a second pair soon for variety and to increase the lifespan of the shoe definitely worth the price and definitely a game changer for me. Also make sure you buy a size up im normally a size 11 in Adidas i had to buy these in 12 and they fit comfortably with a little more wiggle room to boot, also another thing they dont really let heat escape that well at least for me so take that into consideration your feet will get hot but for me personally ill take walking out of work feeling fine with hot feet over nearly limping out of there and needing pain meds for my achy legsUpdate: ive had them since August its now February and the shoes have not held up as well as i thought they would, the grippy part of the sole is separating from the shoe and its lost most of its support but ive probably put 1000 walking hours in them in that time or probably around 250 miles or so if i had to guess so ill give 4.5 stars because they were amazing when new and are a decent price so its worth getting again for what you get i just didnt think id be needing new shoes after only 6 months my last pair of shoes i wore for a couple years and probably gained way more miles but just didnt have the support to get me through 12 hours like these shoes did maybe ill try a different type of their shoes and see if theyre more durable

Very supportive.
I want to start this review on the first day of wearing them. I got the black and red Peak running shoes.I have to start out with the fact that I'm a large man, 6' 2" @325lb, who stays on my feet for at least 11 hours a day 6 days a week.The first thing I noticed and liked was the sides of these shoes are very stiff, sorta like an ankle brace. These shoes are the more of a pull on shoe with a string to give it a little more support. I like the way these feel for the fact that they seem to hug your entire foot, not just the sides or the heal area.When I took my first step I was kinda surprised at the comfort in the heel area. It was almost like a very springy insole that really and truly has a lot of bounce to it. I had to take a few steps to get used to the bounce and spring feeling.I have had them on for 6 hours today, with 5 of that on my feet, and I cannot believe how comfy these shoes are. They feel so light and airy and should do the trick for me.I will update them down the road as they wear, but right now they are a very solid 5 star rating.
