I usually purchase Brooks running shoes however, I took a chance with these based on the reviews and I am not disappointed. They fit true to size and are very comfortable. I run 5 miles a day and my feet and legs feel great after wearing these shoes. I have bilateral bunions and have to be careful about getting a shoe that is too narrow at the toe but I have no problems with these. I would not use them for anything besides running they are a little odd for just walking.
