I was really worried about this shoe, and it''s performance, but, I was fooled. I love they way they feel, and especially how they feel when I am running. They are so light, feels like I am running barefoot. I love them, and I am glad I was introduce to this product. Very comfortable shoe.

Shoe runs small ( .5-1 size). Bought the "Eve" for my wife and daughter after picking up a pair of the mens "Adam". Able to custom fit using the straps and innersoles. Good shoe to run or exercise in. Great for strengthening feet and ankles. Although we like to wear them casually too. The toe box design makes you forget you are wearing shoes.

Love what the company is all about. Shoes come with a second set of insoles. Look good, nice quality, but run at least 1 size too small. Especially if you follow the company's recommendation that there should be extra room in the toe box.

I think if these fit they would have been a really neat shoe, but they run AT LEAST half a size small, maybe a whole size. Just really think about what size you order.
