The delivery from the seller was fast, my delivery arrived before the estimated date. The fit of the shoe was perfect and comfortable when I did my first run. I like that the shoe "helps" tighten my foot and helps me stay in shape at all times. The comfort is great - it feels like you could walk forever. Definitely a great workhorse for long-distance running. I used to have a little problem with Achilles with the latest brand I had. Thanks to my endorphin shift, that's now a thing of the past. I ran on dry and wet roads, as well as sidewalks, and didn't feel the lack of traction that some writers have noted. Worth every penny in my opinion!
