I love the look of these shoes.  I tried Brooks 5 years ago and did not like them. I decided to give them a try again and I'm still not sold on them.  They look smaller than my Asics but the fit is ok.  I'm a 8 in Kayano Asics and I got a 8 in these. I have ran in these a few times just not as comfortable as my older Asics, the new style Asics Kayano are smaller now.
