The shoes are not breathable, at all. I have never had a pair of shoes feel this warm, it's unbearable. The actual width is very thin and I will be returning them. I would describe my feet as average in width for a size 12 and getting my feet in these was very tight with regards to width. It was abrasive during walking. The lack of width creates the illusion of clown shoes. The color combination is very attractive and the overall appearance is wonderful if you're not concerned with the clown shoe thing. I would describe the support as above average. The length was definitely true to size. The shoes are average to below average in weight. I am used to Nike Free which are a bit lighter than these. Zappos shipping was like the 8th wonder of the world. I could have sworn I ordered them the night before but when checking I determined they arrived 36 hours after I placed my order, choosing their free shipping option.

I recently purchased this item from a local Adidas factory outlet. Just for fun, I decided to look at the reviews after I had decided upon them. I was so surprised by what I read here that I felt compelled to give my review. First of all, I visited the Nike Outlet, Reebok outlet, and Saucony outlet in addition to the Adidas outlet, trying on about 15 pairs of shoes in all. I have wide feet, size 13 feet and a high arch, weight 200 lbs, and was looking for my 'everyday' sneaker. What I do agree with is that this isn't really running shoe, nor if you read Adidas' description is it really marketed at one: "Gym, campus, work, home ... Life never rests. Make the transition from one scene to the next all the more fluid with the Liquid 2 M from Adidas." This shoe is an all-arounder and a great looking shoe. Of the 15 or so shoes I tried on, these were the most comfortable width wise, wider than all other Adidas shoes I tried on. So I am very surprised to hear how narrow this shoe supposedly runs. I would say it is on-par with most, but has very accommodating fabric. They definitely don't look like clown shoes because they are so narrow! The liquid 2 M also runs true to size, in fact, larger than many of the Nike size 13's I tried on. I couldn't even get into the Nike Free series it was so tight in size 13! I also have a very hard time understanding how this could be such a 'hot' shoe; it has 360 degree ventilation. I haven't worn it enough to make judgment here, but just saying.

I was really impressed with the quality of the shoe, it fits perfect, I just hope it last a long time, they are for running but look quite delicate.

I was a little nervous about ordering these shoes as usually I wear a skate shoe - but when these came in (within 24 hours of ordering as well!) I immediately tried them on and was absolutely amazed by how comfortable they are. Thanks Zappos for another great pair of shoes and for even greater service! By the way: I'm flat footed - so arch support didn't do much for me either way.

These looked narrow on my kid, like his feet were squished out and hanging over the sides. He said they felt narrow, as well. We looked at them again on zappos.com and noticed when you look at the view of the bottom of the shoe they appear narrow for a running shoe. We ended up selecting another Adidas style that looked wider in the picture from that angle, and that other reviewers described as being more true to width, and it turned out to be a much better fit. Win some, lose some. The Liquids are headed back to Zappos.

This hat is so lightweight and cool. It is easy to pack and just throw in a beach bag and not worry about it getting crumpled like other larger straw hats. Even with the smaller brim, it does provide adequate sun protection with being so large and overwhelming. It is very cute - love it!
