I bought these shoes after much research.  I am an Adidas girl (Supernova Sequence) but decided to venture out and try something new.  The shoes are great in terms of construction and fit - no complaints.  However for me, I need a little more cushion/support on the ball for my feet.  After a few uses (running), I feel as though I am running barefoot which has caused some unnecessary pain in my hamstrings.  So as I said, good if you need minimal cushion/support but if you need alot, might want to look at another product.
