Purchased these to replace a 2 year old pair of running shoes (not frequently used). They fit perfectly and felt like the old ones--except cushioning in sole is MUCH better (as expected). These are a good overall shoe for someone with no specific symptom/running style who will be running on level surfaces. For me, NB has consistently provided shoes that fit across many different styles (running, tennis, minimal, etc.). Once being directed to the 7.5 2EE vs. 8D, every pair of NB have just fit.
