I bought these shoes because I lack a motivation to work out. I thought that if I bought some running shoes, it would inspire me to run. I bought them because they received a lot of good reviews and because I thought they looked very nice. Upon receiving them the day after I ordered them (gotta love overnight shipping)I couldn't wait to put them on - they are very good looking shoes! The fit is not perfect, but they are still very comfortable. The tongue (I don't know if this is what it is called) of the shoe is too tight but I haven't tried re-adjusting the laces so maybe it can be fixed. The shoe is very comfortable even with the tongue pressing down on the top of my foot. I think the shoe is very light and not heavy at all. I am not a runner so my review isn't based on whether this is a great running shoe (I guess they haven't inspired me to run yet. . .)but it is based on how it feels and looks. I wear a size 6 and I felt it was true to size. Again, I think this is a beautiful shoe and very comfortabe to walk in. One thing that might be an issue for people with really narrow feet is that I felt it ran a tiny bit wide even though I ordered the narrow size.
