I bought these shoes based on the review that showed up on my Yahoo page. They are awesome! I do a fast hilly walk for about an hour 5 times/week and these shoes are very comfortable. I have had bad luck with the last few pairs of walking shoes that I've purchased. They were comfortable in the store, but when put to pavement they were awful. These seem to run true to size and were comfy right out of the box. I'm going to buy another pair!
