Overall

This shoe just doesn't fit right for me. I am usually a 9.5 in all brands except this shoe. had to go .5 size up and it just does not really fit the form of my foot. I bought it for easy runs and because it has great durability. so far i've put over 200 miles on it and it shows no signs of wear or tear. So that it good. the bad is that it is very expensive and just does not fit 100% correctly. I would not use this shoe for anything other than recovery / easy runs. It is a bit on the heavy side. > 10 oz. Very very cushy sole, and high heel to toe ratio ( heel to toe is 12 mm ). Also, the tip of the shoe points up - making your toes be in a always sort-of flexed position. Not 100% sure that this is good or needed. but i have yet (i think) to be injured in these shoes. Like i said, these are mainly for easy/recovery runs.
