The shoe is well made and looks good and fulfills the most important criterion for me, he sits comfortably on the very first day! I hate shoes that need to be run only at the beginning and possibly lead to even blisters on the heel, so I no longer buy! I have a "normal" foot in 43 and the shoe fits and I also think he's not too tight (as in other review criticizes). Thanks to lightning offer it existed even for half the RRP, because there is then nothing to complain about!
