I sort of liked this shoe but here's why I'm returning them:

1.  The back of the shoe is pretty high and has lots of padding along the edge/rim and chafes the ankle around the Achilles.

2.  Length of shoe: seems a tad short for a size 8M.

3.  There seems to be a negative angle to the shoe, where the height of the front feels "higher" than the heel.

I use the Vibram Fivefinger shoes for running, so I'm used to the barefoot feel.  The higher front is good if you need help in keeping your form forward when running.  These are not good as general, all purpose shoes.  For newbies, they might be really hard on your calves and Achilles if you're using them all the time.

These are the first running shoe I've found that are fit my V shaped feet (narrow heel box, medium forefoot), but they are not good general purpose shoes.
