Pearl Izumi Men's EM Road N2 Running Shoe
Great shoe
Super lightweight, super comfortable, great fit. I ran the 50 k in them and feel great. Although the heels I could do with some more padding towards the end, so I'll use them for a marathon and the marathon distance sub in the future.
They run very smoothly especially once you know how they are designed to move energy throughout the movement. There is not a lot of cushion, but I found that it was enough. They are very cool and dry quickly when wet. They run a bit smaller than normal, but I find that to be a good thing with running shoes. Overall, this a great shoe.
Great all round shoe
Shape Shoe fit my feet. The only problem is that after getting some advice from the net (I should know better by now), I ordered a half size larger than I normally would wear ... and when they arrive they are about half size too big: live and learn. In addition to this, they are very comfortable shoes. Until recently my longest run was only 15 km in it so I can't comment on their suitability for the long run.
So to summarize: great shoes; comfortable without being too spongy; true to size
