The issue is that it may very well fit some people, but I have to say, it probly fits a small percentage. The front of the foot, and the hell were not much of a difference. They were a bit pointy as well. Few peoples feet are going to have the hell nearly the same width as their toes, albeit i have wider front foot, a normal width heel. I find wide width shoes to be a bit bothersome in that my feel will slip out. Usually I run in altras. I do have the evo mizunos and love those shoes. I also have saucony, asics, and zoots in normal rotation. I run about 30 miles a week.<br /><br />I would say the people who have very narrow feet, this is a good shoe for you. For those with a normal foot, probly should try these on in a store. If you have a wide foot, completely pass on these.<br /><br />I have to say when I opened the box, all I could think was what the heck they put a much smaller front with a much larger size heel... Peoples feet ain't shaped like a stick....  But I guess there are some because they get alot of good reviews.
