I am not an avid shoe buyer nor am I a particularly gifted athlete. I'm a nurse. I'm on my feet for extended periods with no break on hard floors. I also like to walk 6-9 miles per week on top of a varied workout routine. I am difficult to fit in athletic shoes. Yet I really like this shoe.

This shoe is lightweight. I have never owned a shoe so thin, lightweight, and flexible--"realflex" is an appropriate name. The shoe somehow manages to support my foot very well and breathe at the same time with the refreshing feeling that comes from not being encased in tons of extra leather, canvas, plastic, etc. I don't have nearly the foot and calf fatigue at the end of the day that I would have in any other sneaker. I love the tongue on this shoe as well. I hate a thick and bulky tongue that warps against your foot during a workout and rubs excessively. You will never have that feeling with this comfortable shoe.

I found this sneaker to be true to size. I typically wear a size 7 comofortably and found it to be so with this shoe. My feet are narrow in the heel and wide across the front part of my feet. I also have high arches. The shoes fit me great regardless. I would have enjoyed better support in my arches, but I have found I have that feeling with all shoes...so no complaint against this shoe.

I do enjoy walking in rural areas sometimes, and other reviewers are correct in that the large spaces in the sole grooves will collect rocks and debris.

I hope this shoe is produced for a long time because it is so comfortable to wear. I hope to purchase again.
