Nice shoe but not wide enough

4/5

Overall

I got these in a wide, since my one foot is wider than the other.  Nice look, nice feel except the wide in the mid-foot was not really wide.  They were comfortable out of the box, and although, they felt too tight in my wide foot, they did make a difference with my pace

Comfortable and durable

4/5

Overall

These are nicely cushioned although they're not over the top. I like in the middle cushion so I'm not walking on the cloud but I still have good support. They're extremely comfortable and you can wear them almost anywhere. They're more of a distance shoe I can tell but work good for speedwork too (I just don't have enough shoes so I've used them for anything from track to pavement to trails). They look okay too, although they're a bit of a boxy fit, not very lean but that's what you'd expect for distance shoes-- obviously not spikes! Only complaint is the laces. It seems every shoe's laces are just too short-- an inch longer and you'd be there.
