I came to these Mizuno's after being fit at my local running store. These are narrow enough in the heel box without being tight throughout the foot for my wider feet. I've got high arches and a neutral gate, and I love the feeling of stability and support. These are the first shoes that don't make my toes go numb when I run more than three or four miles. I just finished my first half marathon in them and feel pretty great. I would be okay with a little bit more cushion in them, but I'll buy another pair in another 100 miles when these wear down.
