These have prominent arch support and soft between toes. It takes about 5 seconds when you first put them on to figure out how wonderful they really are, The Romeo version I have as well but these are the top. Or at least make it user adjustable. :)Funny story, but not. I still wouldnt recommend running without a good amp if your paying for these premium cans. I kind of figured this was going to happen. Waste. Even the bigger size that is loose on my upper rib cage did this. I wont buy shoes from Amazon again. I only put 3 on but no problems.
