love everything about the shoes but apparently nike has changed sizeing? shoes were larger than anticipated, but doinable i hope , we will see once the season starts. i always buy nike for my son because size is usually dependable and one of the few soccer shoes that are wide enough at the toe. still the same great quality as always, i guess i am lucky and will just get two seasons instead of one!

Buy Pearl iZUMi Men's Elite Road III Cycling Shoe

on Tuesday, January 13, 2015
Nice quality at a good price. Size somewhat small. I agree with other reviewers recommendations to buy a larger size. I bought a 44 size. Other brands like sidi fit perfectly. I recommend to buy a number larger.
Would recommend this for weekend rider and light training.
I'm new to clipless so I did a lot of in-store research. I tried Giro's 200-range shoe and it was comparable in every waycomfort, quality, style, carbon and latch system, tried Specialized's 160-range and the toe box was way too tight for my hobbit feet, every style of Serfas was uncomfortable, then fell in love with the Bontrager RL at 175 because of the wide toe box but on sale, or at another vendor you can get the Elite 3 for about that, and the PI styling is much better imo. Works with Speedplay zero, latch system is excellent, snug quality upper, carbon sole, and dead-sexy = highly recommend.

A great shoe for the money, light and stiff. The sizes run a little tight, maybe half a size or less, but they break in nicely with a soft comfortable upper.Cheap Men's Fila Skele Toes Bay Running 2 Slip On Sneakers

I would give the sneakers a higher rating were it not for the fact that the toe areas do not lend themselves to a naturally comfortable fit. There is an initial "bunching" of material in the toe areas when the shoes are put on. This "bunching" requires manually manipulating the bunched material before it will fit around my toes. Additionally, the sneakers make my feet sweat so I can't wear them for an extended length of time.

Just one word: LOVING, LOVING, LOVING, they are a little bit wider at the TOE area than the regular adidas, true size, I ordered 8.5 and they fit what it is, Is Adidas, that's why... Very comfortable sole and very smooth walking ....
The support in the shoe is very basic. I would not recommend these for running. They would probably make great water shoes. They are comfortable, so that is a saving point. Probably won't buy them again, but they'll work for the time being.

I ordered black/pink size 8, I think it runs half size bigger but since i have wide feet so I just keep it. the shoes are very comfortable and cute, I love the color and it looks exactly same as the picture.Best Deals on adidas Women's Liquid 2 Running Shoe
In the pictures, these shoes look cute. Up close, not so much. The look very industrial and quite frankly, I think they are butt ugly. I feel like I should be working in a construction zone wearing them. In the summer, these will be a nice lightweight shoe as they are completely breathable, but wearing them outside in cold weather will freeze your feet. Since the majority of the shoe is made of a mesh-like fabric, be aware that if it rains, if you step in a puddle, or walk near water or snow, your feet WILL get wet.The support in the shoe is very basic.

my first run in version (2) and this is a home run. a improved upper with the same lower. I love this design and my feet are happy, happy. they are my goto marathon shoe and daily trainer. I run (250 mpm) and they are sturdy. mldfoot or forefoot runners this is the shoe. I am 6'4" and weigh 201. clydsdale running like a gazelle. I will order another Color as soon asthey become available for rotation. my original pair has 500 plus miles and will wear for next marathon.

First off, I am a high school track and cross-country runner and run all the time. When I went to buy these shoes, my feet would pronate slightly and I was needing a pair of fast, light shoes for track season and these have worked better than I could have ever imagined. First off, the upper is unique in that it's stiffer and less like a fabric than other shoes I've run in, keeping my feet in place during a run. The band on the side works with the upper mesh in "hugging" my feet and keeping them in place. The lower foam is perfect. When walking, it feels soft and wonderfully comfortable. When running, though, it becomes more firm and corrects the over pronation of the feet. These shoes have a very low-to-the-ground, fast feel and have also been great for long runs, not just tempo runs and speed work. On the run, it quickly becomes obvious that the sweet spot of this shoe is the mid to forefoot and does really encourage striking in these areas, strengthening legs yet continuing to give plenty of support. All in all, this shoe is for people who are okay with a more transitional shoe and who are wanting to work up milage and speed.Best Deals on Brooks Men's PureCadence 2 Lightweight Running Shoes

Very lightweight, comfortable shoe with minimalist features. I'm more of a "jogger" and do about 10 miles a week so that I can stay in shape for my first love mountain biking. I wore through my previous pair in a few months due to soft rubber on sole but that's a good thing.

I bought these for my husband, who swears that $10 no-name athletic shoes from Wal-Mart are just as good as any other. I was hoping to show him that name brand athletic shoes are not only more comfortable but also reasonable priced. I hit it out of the park with these. Good price (about $45) and he says they fit well and are WAY better feeling that his cheap-o shoes. He has worn them to work several times and even at the end of a long day (sometimes 12+ hours) he's still comfortable. And these fit the bill style-wise as well -they are casual enough for weekends but not so casual that he can't wear them to work. I would definitely buy these again.Saucony always fits and is super comfortable. These shoes breathe great, which is great especially during these hot summer months. Great shoes, recommend them to everyone.

Sooo....a little over a year ago, I bought 2 pairs of the Reebok Realflex Run. LOVED them. Did everything from running to weight lifting in them. My feet never hurt, I had found "my" shoes. After about a year, I went to go order a new replacement pair, and was SHOCKED to find that Reebok didn't make them anymore! BOO. Way to shoot yourself in the foot Reebok! I couldn't even find anyone on Amazon who was selling this discontinued model in my size, they were so popular. Totally bummed, I settled for a different brand of running shoe. My feet hurt even after I had broken them in. :(
Fast forward a month, I'm paging through my Women's Health magazine, and BAM! The RealFlex Scream 2.0. Looks very much like the first generation of Reebok RealFlex models. And there was hope! 2 days later (thanks Amazon Prime!), I try them on, and oh thank heaven! They're a little thinner/lighter feeling in the soles, but just as cushy as my beloved originals! The fit is pretty much the same as well. Same sole pattern, for sure (I did a comparison with my old shoes). They fit true to size. The interesting thing is that with some brands, you have to size up a half or whole size to accommodate for the fact that your feet will swell when hot, but Reebok seems to account for this in the sizing of their shoes. For example, I am a street size 7, I normally size up half a size in other shoe brands, but am still very comfortably a size 7 in Reeboks.
Needless to say, I'm keeping them. :) Given that I now know Reebok will discontinue models after a year or less, I may keep a pair I like from another brand in store just in case Reebok decides to discontinue these too, but for now....I am happy.

I bought these shoes to walk a half marathon. After researching heavily, these shoes came out on top for their cushion and toe box flexibility.

This shoe fits true to size. I have been trying several different brands over the last year looking for a good cross training shoe that I can use inside for work outs as well as outside, and I believe I have found it with Reebok's RealFlex Scream 2.0. I first tried these on in the store, and really loved them, and after shopping around for shoes, came home and wished I bought them. I am glad I waited because I saved money buying them on Amazon. I am really pleased with the support. The shoe hugs your foot.

I love these shoes. they fit amazingly. the lethal zones really make all the difference. they really grip and grab the ball. i love the micoach ability in the shoe. i dont really notice the passing zone or the zone on the outside of the foot but i use the ever loving crap out of all the other ones and it is extremely noticeable and defiantly worth the money.
It almost seems like Adidas decided to pass the responsibility of designing this latest version of the Predator to an intern or maybe decided to off shore the design of the shoes.
I have been such a fan of the predators that I have tried everything in my power to love these shoes. I have continued to persist for almost 3 months but they are simply awful. The allow water in (something I never experienced with the kangaroo leather on by previous predators). So much water in fact that my Mi Coach sensor had water inside it and stopped working (until I guess it dried out).
I can't cut the same in these. I feel gapping between the sockliner and the sole when I'm wearing these and when I take them up I typically find the sickliner has slide up the side of the boot and is warped. The Powerpulse Predator's I had contained a notch where the sockliner sat in a groove in the sole and so there was never any sliding. I've also noticed the pretty blue shoe laces expand when they get wet (and so I have to re tie the laces after they've gotten wet-seems like that would be something easy to test and fix (assuming that Adidas ever tested these or solicited any feedback).
I could go on-and-on but I think you get the message. These shoes are simply substandard and represent a flagrant disregard by Adidas to their established customers. I have been a long standing fan of all things Adidas. So much so that I have ordered a pair of the new Adidas Nitrocharge 1.0 cleats as I hear they are a closer resemblance to the original Predators. However, I am close to turning my back on Adidas cleats and switching to one of the up and coming brands that actually care about their product and the needs of their customers.
They looked good, and felt very light, but they need to be sent back.

The biggest problem I had with this was the back heel, which I think is too stiff and too high. It digs right into my Achilles tendon, so bad that I could barely walk the next day. Also got some big blisters from it, but I think it was due to the shoe being a bit too big. I have always worn size 10, incl with last generation Addidas predator (I went through 4 pairs pf them over the yrs and absolutely loved them), but for some reason, these size 10 were too big. they are also rather long and narrow, which increases chance of ankle inversion sprains due to poor lateral support.They looked good, and felt very light, but they need to be sent back.

I ordered these based on good reviews I'd read touting them as some of the toughest in the world. I received them in the mail about 3 weeks ago, and so far, I concur. They came well-boxed in retail boxing and included a hanger for if you wanted to sell these off the shelf.

EXTREME dependence on thermo-moulding process
Expanded:
+ When I pulled them out of the box, I was stunned at how thick the back of the soles were! The best word to describe them is MEATY! I tried them on first without doing the manufacturer-instructed thermo-moulding process to test fit, and the sizing seems spot-on for Men's US-7. They seemed a bit tight, but after some wear and a bit of frolicking in the ocean, they're perfect size.
+ The tread on the bottom is unorthodox, but the grip is for real-better than any other flip-flops I've seen or heard of by far.
+ The thermo-moulding process was simple, and you definitely have to thermo-mould them before you make any judgments on comfort, because they change shape significantly based on how you mould. Just follow the instructions to a tee. I used some foil to support them in the oven (just to ensure there weren't unsightly rack marks), heated them to 225 degrees F, pulled them out, immediately put them on (they weren't that hot), and stood on them for about 2 minutes. I then walked around a little to see how they felt. Here's where I noticed a bit of an issue.
I walk VERY hard on the heels. Just to illustrate, I wore through a pair of cheap Wally World flip-flops in a weekend, "wore through" being defined as "asphalt showing through". Because the thermo-moulding process is based on how you walk and that sort, the heels, where I place a lot of my weight (this is my problem and not any of the shoes') sank down, as designed. I bought these in an effort to find some that would last, and I am concerned this thinning may have reduced their service life. I will have to make sure I keep up with this review so I can provide my experience with the wear.
Furthermore, I believe, due to the initial before-break-in tightness, I might not have seated my feet completely into the flip-flops for the moulding process, so mine are a bit off-kilter. Lesson? Be ABSOLUTELY particular when you're moulding them. The process has a profound effect on comfort, and, as far as I can tell, you can only do the process once. After you do it right, though, they feel AMAZING.
I attempted to contact customer support to see if the thermo-mould process could be re-executed, but it's been a week, and they still haven't gotten back to me for it. Points off for that. If they come back with a response, it'll still be points off, but a lot fewer.
Overall, as long as you walk more normally than I do AND you're comfortable baking your brand-new $50 flip-flops, I STRONGLY recommend these guys. They're supremely comfortable and durable. Just make sure you do that moulding process right.

heat'm up wear them and they form to your feet like soft damp sand. they allow your feet to work while walking so you can wear them all day in barefoot like comfort. the straps wrap around the ball of your feet to fix the foot securely into the sandal i bought four pair of them.i have tried all the montrail sandals and this the best one yet.
