Sneakers are tough to review, because everyones feet are so different. I have a medium to wide foot, medium arch, and neutral gate. I took a chance on this trail running shoe, as it was awarded the Outside Mag GOTY for trail runners in 2010. They were right. It is a great shoe for neutral runners that can fill out a shoe. I'm thinking that it might have too much volume for narrow feet, althought according to Outside, every tester both narrow and wide loved this shoe. If i had one gripe, it would be that there is a little too much volume in the toe box, but that is just based on my feet. They are a great balance of stable, responsive, and supportive. Excellent cushion in the heel and they have an awesome "propel you forward" feel to them. Lightweight and breathable as well, not much sweat when used with a pair of smartwools. As far as durability goes, ive had mine for about 4 months and run at least 3 times a week and they are holding up very well. All of the support and cushion is still there. When you think of running sneakers, alot of brands come to mind.. and usually TNF is not one of them, but this shoe ranks up there with the likes of of the big dog shoe companies.

Interestingly, I really like the light feel of the shoe, badly wanted them to fit, but the toebox was not nearly roomy enough. My dogs were totally cramped and I'm sending them back. It wasn't so much the width, as the overall volume. I think my only choice would be to size up, but they 8.5 is big enough everywhere else, so I'm reluctant to do that.
