It's really important to note this shoe is not cushioned and if you're looking for a light shoe with any give at all I might suggest Saucony's Kinvara, which I also liked running in a lot and is also very light. The Brooks sole just feels like hard foam when you squeeze it. Right now I use this shoe to walk around in (I walk between 3 and 5 miles every day) and at the gym, but when I start running outside again in spring, I might prefer a different shoe that makes me feel more bouncy.
Again, I can't say enough how much I like wearing this shoe, but I guess with the hard sole they just feel like incredibly comfortable well fitting street shoes, and when I put them on they don't mentally trigger me into running mode. I'll try them in spring and perhaps report back, if this version of the shoe is even on sale.
++Update
I have started jogging in these on the treadmill. Not a ton, maybe 4 times a week for 3 or 4 miles? But I still love them and I'm buying another pair.

I don't ever write reviews but I had to with these shoes. I had just bought a pair of Asics gel nimbus 12 and loved how soft and comfortable they were but they didn't help me with my problems when running uphill (achilles tendon/calves) so I decided to buy these. I had always went around everywhere barefooted when I was a kid so I figured why not start running like that. I loved how they looked when they came and when I put them on WOW! I couldn't believe how light and yet comfortable they were. I haven't had any problems running uphill anymore and they are so light I feel like I can fly! Only problem was when I went for my first run in them I didn't wear any socks and they rubbed against my achilles tendon on my left leg and got up in there pretty good so I'll be wearing socks when I run with them from now on. I love them so much I have been wearing them to school and everywhere else lol. Really recommend these for minimalist running!
