The shoe provides solid support in all the right places; too bad it provides support in too many places. Unfortunately the shoe isn't at all comfortable. First of all, I normally wear a size 11 and had to order an 11.5 because my foot was butting up against the front of the toe box when I walked around. When I wear the size 11.5, I notice that the shoe is rubbing my ankles in a problematic way. After 4 hours of standing in these I had to give my inside ankles a break and had to remove the shoes. Now I'm debating on braving the break in period, which I have read takes days, or just giving up on these shoes and settling for an older version.<br /><br />I'll have to remember to update this review after I do a workout in them, because I've discovered many people are saying that this shoe excels specifically for workouts but not much else.<br /><br />In summary, the shoes run about 1/8 inch (half size) shorter and the shoe rim is uncomfortable on the ankles.
