I ordered this shoes to replace my pair of Vibrams Basilisk because they were more affordable then buying a new pair of vibrams and the reviews were pretty high. Unfortunately, these shoes do not measure up to my expectations. To begin with, the sole of the shoe is so thin, the roads I run on make my feet feel stripped of skin (Vibrams have a pretty thick sole on the shoe). In the interest of combating the pain I experience on runs, I inserted an old pair of Berry Superfeet insoles. While this helped solve the problem of the thin shoe sole, it created a new problem of my foot rubbing along the side of the insole, creating blisters. I will use these shoes until they are worn down, because to be honest, I am super broke. However, I will not buy or recommend these shoes in the future. Also, these shoes are advertised as a one size fits all sort of shoe, and I beg to differ. While the shoes are long enough, they are not meant for a wide foot.
