I have been working on transitioning to a minimalist running shoe.  Since I can't run everytime in my minimalist shoe I needed a nice transistional shoe.  This shoe is perfect.  It is light weight and supports a mid-foot strike with more padding than a minimalist shoe but you can still feel the road.  However, if you run with a heel strike with no intention to move to a mid strike then do not get this shoe.  There is not enough cushion to support a heel strike.

Like some other reviewers have noted the base is narrow.  I have a wide foot and normally wear asics.  For street/dress shoes I wear a 9 but for my asic running shoes I always go up a size.  I ordered a 10B in this shoe and it fits just fine.  It is a more fitted shoe but my toe base still has plenty of room.

The color is true to the picture and looks great on the feet.

Overall, two thumbs up.
