In general, I usually only buy Nike shoes because confident in size and quality (although it certainly hasn't been perfect over the year). Since it was a brand I at least recognized, I decided to give it a try. I haven't actively worn the shoe yet, so I can't comment on durability, but the look and fit are good. I see some reviews have commented that they are tight. I have fairly wide feet and sometimes need a roomy fit, and for me the standard size was fine. It certainly didn't strike me as unusual, but of course everyone's mileage will be different depending on where you have a wide foot. I will update this review if I encounter any of the durability issues mentioned.
