I have been a runner for close to 20 years now and I have tried a great deal of shoes. For comfortable, casual sneakers, I wear the Saucony Jazz Originals and for running I tend to stay with addidas for the fit/comfort. I most enjoy trail running but am beginning to run more often on the street so I needed a different style. I was looking for a lighter shoe that would give me proper support and not cramp my toes. In a traditional trail running shoe by addidas there is good shock absorbtion for the impact of the heel, and a slightly wider area near the toes for compression and expansion of the area of the foot just above where the arch of your foot stops. This works well for me. I have tried quite a few Nike and New Balance shoes that look really cool, and everyone seems to have them, but I wonder how many of those people actually run in them?....
I bought my wife the female version of this shoe and she really liked them so I gave them a shot. I am very pleased to find that they are really, really light but still have enough support for the fairly harsh impact of consistent running on the street. The mixed media materials are all stylish and well ventilated. My only complaint is that the toe is slightly more narrow than I would like. You can't feel it when you put them on, I think you really feel the pressure of the toes being forced together when you run down hill. Over all I am very happy with them and would purchase them again!These shoes were a great deal. Great price and very comfortable. I work out in them regularly and would recommend these to anyone.
