I bought these shoes on the recommendation of a running site. Several top runners have voted this model their training shoe of the year. After trying them on at a local store I realized I had to go up a half size because they are so snug. If you have medium or wide feet, I would advise going up half a size. As soon as I started walking in them, I understood why so many people love these shoes. They are very resilient, have a good grip and can hardly be beat for the price. If you are looking for a really good daily trainer, get it and give it a try.
