I was looking for a neutral colored shoe and others were not as comfortable. I have plantar fasciitis and it is very important to find any shoes that have good support and comfort. I have found that adidas provides that. Especially the cloud ones. I wore these for the first time with no break in time to walk around in while site seeing in NM and I had zero issues. Usually if the shoe is not well comforted then I’m hurting within an hour but these are great so far. I am a solid 8 in women’s and ordered according to the men’s size
