text: The shoes started off ok and were only ever purchased for minimal running (I have serious running shoes for that), although expected to cover a lot of ground walking. Fit is pretty good, I usually wear a UK 10/US 11 in Asics and these were no different. The big downer for me is the mesh on the toe box starts to break down very quickly (i.e. in the first few wears) at the flex points of the shoe. This means that holes start to appear in the shoes well before the the shoe is past its best.<br /><br />Ignoring that design flaw its hard to recommend as a running shoe either. There are better minimalist shoes and there are better supportive shoes too, these kind of fall between stools. Wouldn't recommend.
