This is a really good shoe. The quality seems great and they're breaking in quite easily. The only problem I had was the sizing. I'm normally a size 11 US and that equals about a 29 in Japan. I ordered size 29s, and they were huge -- it was like wearing skis. So I sent them back and re-ordered size 27.5 -- a size and half smaller than I would normally wear -- and they fit very well. So if your comfortable ordering shoes without trying them on, I'd suggest going down a size or a size and half from the usual so they fit nicely. Other than that, they're very nice shoes.
