"I bought these a few weeks ago in black with white check color, and they are such beautiful shoes. I've received so many comments on them. They take a few days to break it, the first day they rubbed on the back of my heel, but now they are comfortable. I don't run or go to the gym in them, so I can't comment on the support level or how the feel after running a long distance. I purchased in a 6.5, and I usually wear a 6 or 6.5, so for me they didn't run very small, more true to size."
