Before I start: I did not purchase these shoes from Amazon. However, if I did, I would have saved quite a bit of money...

Anyway, these shoes are amazing! I wore them the first time running a mountain bike trail both ways (4.5 miles one way). These shoes didn't need any breaking in. They were so comfortable to wear and kept me steady on the trail while having to dodge mountain bikers, snakes, and falling tree limbs.

I purchased these shoes a half size down from my usual size and Im glad I did. I have wider feet, so I couldve used them a bit wider, but Im sure theyll stretch out as I continue to use them. It certainly didn't present an issue while running.
