A good running shoe
" This is a good casual running/jogging/walking shoe. I run around 2.5 miles per day on a track with these shoes, and they are yet to disappoint. Arch support is excellent, and my feet feel as cushioned at the end of the run as they do at the beginning.
My only real complaint is with the shoelaces. They are too long and are round (as opposed to flat), which come undone easier than I think they should.
Regarding fit: I originally ordered a 10.5, as I have other Nikes in 10.5 - however, I needed an 11. The shoe was shorter than the other pair of Nikes, which are cross-training shoes. The 11 fits well.

Good shoe for what it does
" I bought this shoe because I wanted a running shoe that didn't look too ridiculous (read: really bright colors and flashy features) to wear to the gym and elsewhere.
The splash of color on this shoe makes it stand out just enough, but not so much that people will be staring at your shoes all day or night.
As for fit and comfort, the shoe fits well. It is neither too long nor too short, neither too narrow nor too wide. My feet a relatively average as far as width related to length go, so I had no issues.
I did put running insoles in the shoe instead of the inserts the shoe comes with. I had the insoles in my previous pair of running shoes, and they fit the shoes well. With this pair of shoes, though, they seem to want to reject the insoles; the insoles float around under your feet a bit until you walk in the shoes for a minute or two, and then settle down. This could just be my insoles, though.
Overall, a good purchase.
