After reading all the reviews, I decided to buy these trail running shoes.  I must say I like these shoes but I wished they were 1/2 size bigger.  All my shoes are in size 8 but for some reason, these are a little tight.  While they feel alright for walking around, when I run on a trail with elevation or use the elliptical for cardio workout, the tip of my toes get really sore.  I was hoping they would loosen a little by now, but they still annoy and hurt my toes after 2 months of use. Maybe I need to get them stretched out professionally.
