After disappointment with the quality of the major brand athletic shoes, my husband agreed to try Plae. My kids love theirs, I love mine, now my husband loves his. \nThis style did run small for him, so we had to do an exchange, Plae offers a true exchange process so we didnt have to return and re-buy, it was very easy! Knowing that Plae has great customer service was a huge plus in encouraging him to try a new brand. His size (mens 14 in Plae) is hard to find in stores, so we always have to order, and it can be a pain.\n\nComfort-wise, he really like the minimalist feel, the soft bendy sole, but also appreciates the insole support for arches as well as the optional heel cup. He has flat feet so the heel support keeps his plantar fasciitis at bay.\n\nAnd the price is right for a mens atheltic shoe!
