A bit apprehensive at first in using a minimal shoe since I had surgery on my foot, but this shoe provides enough support and fits and feels like a slipper! Running in this is amazing since I was using the typical cross trainer weighing in at 11 ounces per shoe. Taking it slow though as the minimal running shoe forces my calves to work a bit harder than usual, but I love it. Fits snug, but not too snug to bind at all. If you like alot of room I would order one half size larger. Great shoe, I am a beginner runner and was wary but love this shoe fit and feel when running. No problems with it so far.
