UPDATE: 26July2018: My previous review is listed below where I gave the Nano 8's only 3 stars due to some sizing issues. I wear size 11 but my toes were crammed up against the front so needed to return them. Rather than risking several reorders due to sizing, I stopped into a local sporting goods store and tried on both a half and full size bigger. The size 12's seem to fit great. I don't want to abuse brick and mortar stores as only showrooms; they need to pay their bills also, so perhaps should have bought them there, but I'm a dedicated Amazon shopper due to their unmatched customer service, so i reordered from Amazon. I perhaps should allow weeks of wearing before updating my review, but I wanted to update my former, average 3 star rating due to sizing issues to a full 5 stars now to give a fair assessment. First is the comfort factor. I have no foot issues, but for some reason I have a horrible time finding athletic shoes that don't cramp one foot or the other. So far, the comfort these offer are phenomenal. Partly due to it having 7 eyelets that are staggered, it allows you to tighten the shoe according to the unique contours of your foot. Insole support is superb. The more bulbous design of the front of the shoe offers great room for your toes with no cramping or pressure, once you get the correct size, which as noted might need to be larger than you normally wear. Second, due to the mesh design as opposed to solid leather shoes, these are extremely light weight. Third is the appearance. My personal preference is an appealing but minimal look. At least for me, shoes with neon streaks or aggressive soles that scream, look at me, I'm the Liberace of footwear, are best left to more extraverted types. These have a stylish and almost sophisticated look without appearing boring. I'll be using these for everything from boxing to weight training to some roadwork, and so far these seem to offer both comfort, support and stability. I also tried on the Nike counterparts, the Metcon 4's, and in my humble opinion, these Reeboks, seemed far superior and advanced in materials, quality and design, though the price is identical. Just my 2 cents in case you're cross shopping brands. I again advise you to be certain about size if you order these since their physical design seems to make them run smaller than your normal size. So far, extremely satisfied for a full 5 stars.
(Original Review ) Perhaps I shouldn't be writing a review just yet. I sent for these based on all the raving reviews. All my dozens of pairs of shoes and boots and sneakers have always been an exact size 11. I was so anxious for these to arrive, but when they did, it only took slipping one on to be amazed at how undersized they are. My toes were crammed up against the front of the shoes even though I didn't even have thicker athletic socks on but thin dress socks. Amazon, of course, authorized a return immediately so they are going back tomorrow. They have a very unusual construction with a fully breathable mesh like weave, so I feel certain they will be very cool during a long workout or run. It's worth noting that they have an unconventional front shape, reminiscent of Earth Shoes, a generation ago. Jury is out on if I care for that look but if they are as versatile in workouts as many reviewers say, the looks are important but secondary. I asked for a refund instead of an exchange because as much as I am in love with buying online, and despite the wonderful no questions asked return policy, footwear might be the one item I'll need to actually try on in a physical store. I could have ordered an 11 1/2 to see if that worked, but if I needed a 12 that might mean at least one more return with the need for another trip to the post office. So, forgive the lack of a total review. I plan to go somewhere and purchase these again, based on the reviews and my at least brief look at these. I'm posting this just to alert potential buyers that it is likely you will need to order a larger size than you normally wear in footwear. Just a heads up.

I like these shoes, and I bought the exact same brand and type as my first pair. However this pair is not as good. The first pair was more firm and not as flimsy. They are a good shoe, I will run in them and use them for the gym for workouts. They work good for both activities. Just wish they were more firm in their shape.
