La Sportiva Men's Raptor GTX Trail Running Shoe,Black,44.5 EU/11 M US Review

I'll keep them only for walking, just because they look top notch. The EUR sizes are correct but the US sizes are half size small (maybe even 1 size small), I'd suggest take a half size bigger than your (max) US size.

As it comes to actually RUNNING, these are hell stiff and not flexible AT ALL (unlike Mizuno's which are stiff but still flexible). I felt no cushion (too close to the ground). No energy return, not a bouncy shoe at all.

I can't comment on durability but they do seem pretty solid and very high quality (very). I'd not really categorize this shoe for running, I'll use them in rainy days (waterproof).

The price is exaggerated given I don't think you can compare the comfort of these to a typical premium neutral shoe by NB\Saucony\Brooks etc'.

Update: I figured out the what makes them feel like a brick are the supplied insoles, which are thin and stiff. You better remove them totally and add one of your own, I personally love Gravity Defyer's insoles and use them in all my shoes.
