On Cloudmonster 1 Running Shoe in Gobi Lily was a splurge, even though my gift cards covered it, but what a worthy splurge this was. These shoes are heavenly on the feet. They are so supportive, lightweight and unbelievably comfortable. For years my friend has been telling me to get a pair, and I just wish that I hadn't waited this long. I wore them out-of-the-box on an all-day trip to a museum, and my feet felt amazing the entire time.
