I'm not really a runner, but I am an athlete.  I've been frustrated for years with "low-to-the-ground" tennis shoes which have about an inch of insole.  I hope that other sports' shoes take a cue from what runners have figured out.  Less is more when it comes to performance.

There is plenty of room in the toe box for your toes, so you can aggresively size this one, and it will still feel comfortable.

Final edit of review: After months of running/walking, I've gotten used to these shoes and they no longer give me blisters.  I do recommend them.
