Nice, comfortable shoe.
Yes , I recommend this product
Nice, comfortable shoe. I have wider feet and they fit well in width as well as the toe box. My only complaint is that for the price, they really should last longer. This is my second pair. I still wear the first pair, but the cushion has already (bought in March) compressed significantly which takes a lot away from that pillowy feel. I bought these for a theme park trip in September so I will be saving this second pair till right before my trip. Overall I would recommend and will probably buy another pair when these wear out.

Amazing comfort, terrible lacing hole design
Amazing comfort, horrible lacing design. Mini hoops instead of holes do NOT hold shoelaces in place, so it’s only tight at the toes and the ankles. I had to return them. :-(

Excellent retail experience
Yes , I recommend this product
Extremely comfortable, once I returned the size 8.5 (my typical size) and purchased size 9. And, I so appreciate REI's sale and cashier staff, who are always warm, personable and informative.

Great for a habitual mid-distance runner
Yes , I recommend this product
Good cushion, good heel-toe height difference for me as a habitual toe runner, just the right amount of stiffness around the sides of the ankle (note: I do not pronate).
