Bough these as my first pure running shoe after looking at many different shoes and reviews. They are very light and have much more support than any other shoes I have bought for running. Gave them 4 stars because there is a bit of pressure on the top of my left foot where the laces start. Only on my left foot which is a bit larger than my right. It isn't a size issue since the length is good. have tried loosening the laces to see if it helps, but it hasn't. Not bad enough to stop me from wearing them, but it is something I'm not completelyu happy with.
