Is it possible for a product to have 20 reviews, and all of them be 5 stars?  Sounds crazy, right?  Well, I have no qualms about that.  This is my first pair of Brooks, by the way.  I typically don't like the more expensive running shoes, as I feel they are typically too thin, too tight in the space right beyond the laces on top, and not enough padding for the balls of my feet.  But I have no problems with these shoes whatsoever.  My reviews of shoes usually are about listing the negatives instead of the positives, because with the perfect shoes, you aren't thinking about their positives because you forget the shoes are even there.  And when I run in these shoes, I'm thinking about stuff, but I'm not thinking about the shoes, because they don't give me any problems at all.
