I can't review these as someone who ran in them, because I never ran with them on. Upon starting to run, although the shoes laces were taut and the shoes felt good, my heel kept slipping out of them, like the shoes were just a little too short for my feet. The shoes appeared to be of great quality and workmanship, but I didn't log enough time in them to have a valid opinion. I've never had this happen before where my feet didn't stay put when I tied them down, and I didn't want to lose the opportunity to return the shoes by messing up the tread or risking getting them messed up in another way, I simply removed them and sent them back to amazon and purchased a different model shoe.
