THE MOST COMFORTABLE RUNNING SHOE EVER!!
I HAVE A BUM PINKY TOE THAT ACTUALLY LAYS ON TOP OF THE TOE NEXT TO IT. IT IS ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE FOR ME TO WEAR SHOES FOR A FULL DAY. WHEN I WORKOUT (ESPECIALLY RUNNING), I CAN HARDLY STAND THE PAIN IN MY TOE AND AM LITERALLY TEARING MY SHOE OFF MY FOOT BY THE TIME I AM DONE WITH MY WORKOUT.... BUT NOT WITH THESE SHOES!!! I CAN JUMP, RUN, AND DO WHATEVER I WISH ALL DAY LONG WEARING THESE SHOES WITH ABSOLUTE COMFORT AND NO PAIN WHAT-SO-EVER!! NO BINDING SEAMS, LIGHTWEIGHT, GREAT TRACTION... THERE IS NOTHING NEGATIVE TO SAY ABOUT THESE SHOES. IF THERE WERE MORE COLORS OFFERED, I WOULD HAVE A PAIR IN EACH COLOR. THANK YOU!

Don't want to wear these out!
I really like these compared to the New Balances and North face trail running shoes I have currently. I feel like with sneakers it can be such a gamble and it is ALWAYS a toss up on which features you like will be on the shoe because the sneaker companies churn out SO many styles and they come and go like the wind. The Vasque (my first pair from this company) Mindbenders are like everyone says - very comfortable. The color Malibu Blue is very blue, but I like it-- I just thought it would be more deep, but this one is a little more Malibu as the name suggests. The rounded toe (vs. tapered) makes it more suitable to flat terrain. I went for hike in the park and when on steep inclines I wished I had my North Faces on because the tapered toe allows me to feel a certain grip for sure footing. This rounded toe allows for the widely noted comfort though clearly (and probably for very long runs too). I haven't worn them as my standard sneaker yet because like I said I don't want to dirty them up and it's winter now and I have some other shoes to alternate around, but I know when spring or nice days return I'll be flashing my feets in these great sneakers.
