after receiving mine and walking round the house in them I feel like they are 'pushing' my foot slightly inwards.
on further inspection it looks to me like the outer midsole at the front is thicker than the inner, is everyone elses like that? not sure if its an optical illusion or not but there are 3 grooves on the midsole on the outer at the front and only 2 on the inner.
felt good to run in and I have noticed that when up on my toes in other shoes I have a tendancy to push off more with the outer part of my foot than with my big toe which has led to tight calves and strains down my outer calf. maybe this shoe is designed to stop that or maybe its a flaw or maybe its nothing at all
There is quite a lot of debate about this issue. For me, they do list slightly, and it seems pronounced when standing. When running though, the shoe performed brilliantly for me, just shy of 3 hours for the first run and didnt encounter any issues, just fast midfoot strike running.

ok so I'm not imaging it neither have I got a duff pair!!
good to hear you 2 agree, felt good running. my big reservation was I am trying to go down the minimalist, back to basics running after a long time wearing orthotics etc. In theory you can't over pronate iff landing on your forefoot. I have done loads of foot and lower leg strengthening exercises and built up slowly with no injuries so far.
so this shoe rather alarmed me as it felt like it was almost forcing me into an over pronated position...however if you land on your fore to mid foot it seems to perform well.

glad you said that felt really odd when first tried on, not run in them yet so here's hoping they're ok.
re previous post... sport shoes first cancelled my order because they didn't have any , then sent me a pair unfortunately they remembered to charge me.
I can feel the slight angle in them too, but again they feel brilliant while running!
As can I, great to run in though!
