Women's Cloudsurfer Running Shoes - Lightweight & Cushioned Sneakers for Jogging, Walking & Gym Workouts

These shoes brought me back to running. I had hip surgery and a prolonged recovery and really thought I would never run. A great physical therapist did the bulk of it, but I really think these shoes have played a significant role in my being able to run. They hit my arch just right, which has always been a problem. They are light, but not minimalist; I don't feel the pounding of the road. They are super comfortable for long runs. They are very much a shoe you have to try for yourself, though. Other friends have not loved them and mention the calf and knee problems. They run a half size small by my foot and do wear out fast if you are a heavy-footed runner like me. The company will replace them if the pillows break within a certain mile limit. In case they ever stop making them, I have started stockpiling them. Give them a try, that is the best advice for any shoe.
