Sturdy, lightweight, and comfy

I bought these shoes because I could no longer find a Salomon "Fusion" shoe in a color that I liked. I was happy to find that I like the "Vertigo" better. They are equally comfortable, they have a less clunky heel, less pointy toe and seem more stylish all around. The tongues (like the Fusion) are definitely denser and stiffer than a typical running shoe tongue - I suspect to protect the top of your foot from the ultra thin laces - but I like them and do not consider them uncomfortable. I also love how easy they are to slip into and they stay on even though I rarely cinch up the laces. I took the advice from other reviewers and ordered a half size down (8.5). They were comfortable enough right out of the box to dash out the door and wear to work. Unfortunately, by the end of the day I realized they were a little too small (and too dirty) to return. I normally wear a size 9 and the size 9 Vertigo fit perfectly. I really like these shoes - and at half price I'm considering ordering another pair. Anyone out there interested in a used pair of 8 1/2's?
