Not a fan of how this shoe fits. I had high hopes but the upper area where the laces are is so uncomfortable. There's very little padding on where the tongue normally is situated, only problem is that this shoe design does not incorporate a traditional tongue. I can feel all the laces against the top of my foot and it's extremely uncomfortable. Other running shoes have enough padding on the tongue to prevent this.putting some separation from the laces and the foot. Would not buy again.
