Nice-looking shoe with leather in the right places -- it's surprisingly comfortable on the foot, and, no, there isn't a moon-bounce type of spring in your step, but there is significant impact cushioning, which is what I'm interested in. BUY HALF A SIZE LARGE and realize that these run narrow -- I ordered a quadruple-E and it's still pretty snug (but then I have really wide feet). I'll put these to the test on a three-mile round trip to and from the market and see what my feet have to say.

Next day: I WAS WRONG or I didn't know my shoe size or something, these are a little too long for my feet and I'll need to return them. Which I hate doing. I hate making mistakes. And I made a mistake ordering these a little too large than I should have. Darn.

Nice shoes, but the toes are narrow IMHO. The shoe is wide enough (12EEEE) but then it comes back to a too-small point -- I discovered this the other day when I got a cramp in my toe which was new, unusual and unpleasant. I'm back to wearing (what are these?) some New Balance shoes with a really boxy toe. It turns out a toe injury is nothing to laugh at... so if you have wide feet, factor that in when looking at these shoes.
