I bought these when they first came out. I'm not pleased with them. There are better shoes out there for the money. The fit and finish of the shoe is top-notch; they look good and fit like a glove. However, if you value your back I'd stay away from them. I found the hard plastic, impact-absorbing sole to be too unforgiving. They stressed my back. I'm 6'4" and weigh 200 lbs.  I like the quality of Mizuno and have a pair of Wave Riders. I just don't like these.
