i run about 20 miles a week and have a terrible problem with black toe. I bought a recommended pair of running shoes $110 and after three weeks my toes were bloody and i eventually lost another toenail. I have tried several running shoes, styles and price became unimportant as I had nothing to lose. I have never ever liked sketchers, they were bulky shoes will a terrible fit.  Once again i was proven wrong...This company has changed something because this is the most comfortable running shoe i have worn in many years. the toe box is perfect without making the rest of the shoe too big. it's roomy and breathable.
