I recently received this shoe for running. I have to say, right out of the box, this shoe performs, performs, performs! Great for street and trail, I really was leary to cross over, but it grips with attitude on both surfaces and gives me the confidence to push hard over odd terrain. I waited for weeks to give this shoe a review, but after logging more than 75 miles in them, I can say that they "walk the walk". True fit (sz. 8), Good cushioning, nice feel on the heel strike and secure on the toe lift. They are light and flexible...great for me, as I am a minimalist runner. Better yet, they have discreet reflectors for my night running. I don't usually submit reviews unless I am truly impressed, but I will definitely spread the word on good products. Especially about running, to other runners. Hope this helps!
