In general, I love these shoes. I normally wear Asics and Brooks, but found these to be similarly comfortable, right out of the box. My one issue is a VERY narrow mid-section. I replace factory indoles with Superfeet insoles, and have never had to cut a pair of Superfeet back so far. These shoes have a EEEE width, and are wide everywhere my feet need them to be wide, but that narrowed footbed in the mid-section makes it difficult to use anything but plain foam insoles. Beyond that, the mesh vents air very well, the soles are great on ice, and they don't squeak on flooring when wet. The grey coloring of the mesh and the silver reflective strips aren't quite as far apart in color as the picture shows, so the overall look is pretty good. I've only been wearing them for a few weeks now, but from my experience so far I'd definitely be willing to buy another pair.
