I took a risk on this and the mastersons from skechers after having a lot of frustration looking for shoes.  I am a size 14 with what I guess is a wide foot for running and workout shoes with a good arch. I am also 270 lbs and workout and run regularly but at my size and years of exercising had taken its toll on my knees and hips and ankles.  These shoes were incredible out of the box, very comfortable and make my running pain free and revitalized me. I started wearing them to work with 12 hour shifts and come home with no pain and feel great.  A plus they actually look nice also you can wear them out with out odd looks like my girlfriends shape up originals.  I have purchased an extra pair and some for my family.  I also Highly recommended the mastersons SRT for daily walking work and exercise not so much for running.
