From my first run with the Cursoris.
The good: The shoe has a sock like fit, the upper is very stretchy and doesn’t restrict toe movement. I totally agree with Peter’s comments about the sole, the upper construction and the fit. I also love the breathability, maybe one of the most breathable shoes.
What i don’t like: The heel is loose. If running faster this is more evident. I think the fit in the midfoot area is a bit tight and after a while i was feeling discomfot in the outer part of my feet.

In reply to stephan. Maybe try removing the insole from the smaller shoe, or replace it with something thinner? Can't recall what the insole in the Cursoris is like.

I just got a pair of these yesterday (pretty big discount at Running Wearhouse), and I’m so torn. The left one is almost perfect – it could be my marathon shoe. The right one, not quite so much: I noticed the arch there, and my big toe kept hitting the front. While I might be able to go up a bit (I’m in a 12 in these, a 12.5 in my Skoras and Skechers), I’m worried about losing the perfect fit on my left foot.

I don’t really want to buy two pairs in order to run with a 12 on my left foot and a 12.5 on my right foot… Really not sure what I should do.

I love my Skoras, but I don’t see doing a marathon in them – I’m a bit too big to run that long in something quite so minimal.

Any thoughts?

In reply to Dan H.

I did not mean my comment about your foot strike to be disparaging. I certainly don't have enough data to be able to say anything about the mechanics of it in itself. But maybe there's too much friction at ground contact or during lift/push off, and that would partly explain why the EVA is peeling off so quickly. That's how I interpret it in my case and if anything, I'm glad the Cursoris made me think of that (although the Vapor Gloves do the same thing in what I believe to be a much better way.) You have to focus on the positive. :)

As for the BA2s, I was worried about the arch support as well, but to me it disappeared completely while running. The way the Merrell shoes contour your feet is something I like a lot about them. The Vapor Glove and even more so the Trail Glove have the best midfoot fit of any shoes I have tried.

Thanks Pete, that's really interesting to know (about the RW protocol I mean)
