These shoes are made wonderfully, fit perfectly on my (wide) feet, are light and breathable and mostly help me use my entire foot heal to toe because of the flexibility in the sole. I have tried many kinds of different running shoes and have never been satisfied until now. Everyone has their own opinion and are entitled to it but for those with wide feet that are scared away by some of the reviews, I can tell you that these are the most comfy running shoes I have ever put on my size 5 1/2 wide feet.
