I had never heard of this company until a specialist at a  running store urges me to try them. I have a difficult foot to fit after foot reconstruction surgery. I had always wore Brooks but for some reason, they no longer suited my needs. Firstly, I sized up one full size from my normal sized shoe. I love the snug fit around the arch, and wider toe box. The toe box is not as wide as the Mizuno Wave 13 but comfortable enough for my daily 5 mile walk. I always use a custom insert and these make my feet feel comfortable all day. And lets not forget the cost factor, these are an amazing bargain at Amazon. Great arch support plus a wider toe box equals comfort! A winner of a sneaker!
