This shoe is awesome for running.  I feel these are better than the Saucony shoes I used to wear.  There is just enough cushioning and medium bounce in these shoes.  I normally buy .5 size larger in running shoes, but in these I did not have to buy up.  Buy your true street shoe size.  There is good support for my medium arch and the heel cups my heel perfectly and with this shoe my ankles get the proper support and do not feel weak after running.
