Along with the Duramos I bought with these Run Falcons, they are the absolute BEST shoes I've ever purchased. They're incredibly lightweight, have terrific bounce and are comfortable right out of the box. The heel is well-cushioned and protective and the toe box is wide enough to give the piggies plenty of space. I walk 4-5 mi/day and these shoes have caused not one blister or squished toe and my feet feel amazing afterward. Great price too, especially on sale. Buy. These. NOW!
