I guess it really depends on what you are looking for...Some styles aren't too good to look at,I agree! They make you walk correctly and you can feel the muscles working as you do.The first few times I wore mine,I knew it the next day! And I am fit,as I'm a fitness instructor! However,if it is running and aerobics,as you say, then they probably aren't the best footwear due to the balance issue involved! Hope that helps a bit,even if it didn't answer your original question!
