I am veryyyyy picky with running shoes, and these shoes are awesome. I typically only wear Altra running shoes, but lately I have found that they don't provide the bounce I need (at least not in the models I've tried). After much research I landed on these. My feet are so happy in these shoes! They have lots of bounce, which help my legs feel better and last longer. Also, I have been battling plantar's fasciitis and achilles tendonitis for months, and these shoes have worked great to provide comfort and not inflame my tendons more than they already are.
I do wish the toe box could be roomier, which is a big reason I typically stick with Altras. On runs longer than 8 miles, my toes feel cramped and start to get hot spots. If the toe box were roomier, these shoes would probably be perfect.
Also, know that these shoes aren't the greatest option for shorter runs and speed workouts because they are a little too bulky for that. I am not the type of person who has a different pair of shoes for every workout; I just have these right now. So, these have been slightly cumbersome on shorter runs and speed workouts, but overall they still are comfortable and get the job done.
