I bought this shoe because I typically wear Saucony and one of my running magazines had it rated as a top shoe.  It fits true to size and brand.  It has a shorter heel rise than many shoes - 4 mm vs typical of 8mm - but is really not  a minimalist shoe.  I've put about 20 miles on these over about a week and they really haven't taken much getting use to or breaking in.  Although the landing is not quite as soft as some other shoes I have, they have very nice support and my feet actually feel better after a mid-length run with these than they usually do.

I'd buy these again for sure.
