I used to wear Nike shoes until the sizing problems with their shoes drove me to research other brands.  When I switched to Saucony, I thought my problems were over.  Right out of the box, these shoes were so comfortable and over a year's time, I bought four pairs.  The down side is that they don't last very long, even though I would alternate my twice-daily walks with the dog between 2 or 3 pairs.  Unfortunately, the Sauconys I bought last December didn't fit that well; I had read the reviews and ordered a wider shoe than I normally wear but still, that shoe was not that comfortable.  So, I was a little hesitant when I ordered this Progrid Mirage 2.  And again, my big toes are almost touching at the top of the shoe and despite loosening the laces as much as possible, it's still a little tight.  They do look nice though and have had comments about how distinctive they are.
