These shoes are fantastic--the first pair of sneakers I've truly been happy with in years. I got the crystal color, which is gorgeous. Honestly, I find myself admiring them on my feet more than is probably healthy! They're extremely lightweight and a breeze to slip on and off.

I don't run (unless I'm being chased--and even then it has to be a pretty fearsome foe), so I can't speak to how well these hold up for that. However, they're perfect for fast walking on a treadmill and just for moseying around town.

I have sooo many pairs of sneakers I've barely worn because they're uncomfortable or don't fit quite right. These are my go-to sneakers every day, and I will definitely get more. If they were less expensive, I'd probably get them in an array of colors. Even with the cost, though, I'm likely to get a couple more pairs.

As for size, I'm usually an 8 but I flirt with 8.5s. In this, I got an 8.5 and the fit was perfect.
