I hadn't seen the shoe in person, but was impressed by the photos I've seen online.  The orange toe color is brighter than expected. It's more of a tangerine orange color. The shoe literally fits like a glove and almost wears like slippers.  They are very light.  The shoe is constructed mostly of a meshy, foamy, spandex-y material.  Because of this I feel the shoe may be a little over priced at $100.  I beleive most of the technology lies in the sole. I ran in these yesterday and it was very comfortable on my feet.  To me they seem comparable to Nikes that are priced around the $79.00.  But all and all, I do like the shoe and am happy with the purchase.  I bought these as gym shoes and they have served me well.
