Be sure to size up 1/2 size on these ... I typically wear a 6-1/2, and exchanged for a 7, which fit fine. They are an adequate trail shoe; I run on gravel county roads and the tread does not hold rocks. They are quite rigid, and even after replacing the insoles with new cushioned liners, they are pretty stiff. I am not sure I would buy again as my running shoe, but that being said, they are working fine as a light trail hiker.

This is my fourth or fifth pair of Mizuno running shoes, but I'm not singing their praises as much as I did years before ...
