I love these shoes! They're unbelievably comfortable... It feels like I'm running on air and the shoe perfectly molds to my foot. With other shoes, I get sore muscles around my shins and my shin splints flare up. But with these, I feel like I can run forever. It's like wearing socks with soles. They're breathable so your feet don't get hot, and they're extremely lightweight. I would recommend these shoes and definitely buy them again.

I agree with the other reviews, if you are a "mid-foot striker" and everybody should be, it removes ALL injuries once this method is discovered or re-covered by a runner. This shoe definitely is the one for this type of running. As stated by another reviewer, most other running shoes are designed to heavily cushion the heel, thus making them a big problem for people running mid-foot - actually barefoot is best - but these are the next best thing : ) I have now purchased four pairs of these this year (two back-ups in closet)and wear them for everything - I've never truely had a pair I could run and hang out in before these. Hope they keep making them.
