I tend to walk a little heel heavy, so when a friend of mine recommended these shoes (he is a BIG boy over 400 lbs!) I was intrigued to try them. I slipped on a pair at a local sporting goods outlet, but their prices were quite high. When I saw these shoes in a classic style (not into the bright colors) and at a huge discount from the retail shops, I knew it was time to bite. I would prefer wide-width, but went with the size that was closest to my needs.
The instep is a little tight, but I will just loosen the laces during the break in period. The sole is exceptionally comfortable! I've pretty much abandoned Nike, and become a Reebok fan. I find Nike athletic air-sole shoe start squeaking after about three months. Even on carpet, they squeak. I've not had that problem with Reeboks, so I'm optimistic about this pair of shoes.
I would love to see these offered in wide-widths across the Zig tech family.

July update. Still comfortable, but the little glued-on rubber pieces on the bottom of the sole are coming off. I've had to glue them back on twice now. Poorly constructed shoe. Will not purchase another pair.

January 2014 Update
I just threw these shoes into the garbage can. Why? The glued on sole parts are coming off and posing a tripping hazard. Okay, I keep shoes for a while. Who doesn't (except for marathon runners)? Shouldn't I expect to get a year's worth of wear from $60+ shoes? Plus these shoes were actually causing me some foot problems. I am type 2 diabetic, so foot care is important. These shoes are simply too tight to wear for a whole day. So it's goodbye to them and hello again to some future squeaky Nike shoes in a 4EEEE width. Ah...comfortable once again. The nice thing about buying shoes online is that you can look for your exact size and get it without burning gallons of gas on a shoe hunt. I'll be much more picky in the future.
