If you tend to have a wider foot, these are narrow. Usually I’m fine with gym shoes and just need a wide in some dress shoes for a cofortable fit, these feel narrow to me. Okay, I bought them for the gym because lets face it where else are you going to wear those spring loaded shoes While running I felt they had little arch support or something because my arches started hurting almost right away. Therefore the next gym visit I took my old addidas gym shoes to my tredmill and left these behind. So much for not having to wear them outside the gym. So if you are looking for a running shoe I’d say no go on these just because of the lacking support. They are flexible and of good quality. I would buy .5 size bigger unless you have a narrow foot.

Added 12/2007: Okay I’ve had these about a year now and I have to make an obvious comment I forgot to mention earlier. I have only worn these shoes a handful of times now, the reason, THE LACES ARE TOO SHORT! The laces are very nice and are great quality, they match perfectly but they are too short. This makes it a hassle to tie the shoe, which makes it the last choice. I know I should just buy some laces and call it a day but then I would have to go shopping for laces and there are so many other great things to shop for, why bother on laces.
