tight

They're tight, and I mean that in a good way, but don't plan on wearing thick socks inside these. They're narrow through the instep. I have a narrow heel and I appreciate the almost stretchy, sock-like fit of this shoe. My feet do not move around inside them. They felt great with no break-in, and I like the spike-like rubber lugs for traction on loose dirt and rocks. I would think this would be a good trail racer (I don't race). I don't run in these on pavement. The cushioning is pretty minimal, which I prefer for trail shoes. These replaced a pair of Salomon XA Pro's (which are also very nice, but more expensive), and the Sportiva's are every bit as good for running, though I found myself wearing the Salomon's much more often for a hike or just around town on weekends (like, off the bike, or camping).
