After finally binning my 3 year-old Adidas Samba soccer shoes, I decided to do a little research and get myself a proper pair of shoes for light running and general gym use. After a couple of visits to athletic stores I settled on the MX20 because it was lightweight, fit well, and is a minimal training shoe that still provides good ankle support.

I followed the advice of other reviewers and ordered a half-size larger, and I'm very glad I did. The shoes are a little snug fitting, but they mold very well to your feet after breaking them in (took me 4-5 runs to really start feeling them mold in nicely). Going larger gives me a little more flexibility when it comes to wearing socks.

Overall, I think this is a great shoe for the well-rounded athlete. For less than $100, it really can't be beat in terms of value, fit, comfort, or performance.
