My do-it-all shoe

I have run about 400 miles, and walked even more in my Karhu Mestari Run to date. It's been an excellent workhorse shoe for me, but I wouldn't purchase them again.
Likes:
- Durable: Even after hundreds of miles the shoe is still in great shape.
- Cushion: Excellent for walking and standing long hours.
- Stability: doesn't feel mushy or wobbly when running

Dislikes:
- Upper fit: I have always had a hard time getting my foot to fit snugly so my heel doesn't slip, but not lacing so tight that it hurts the top of my foot. I have also struggled with toe blisters in these shoes when I used them more than 10 miles per week, and have had to rotate them with other shoes to let my toes recover.

While I have loved this shoe for walking, standing, and light running, I don't recommend it for those who run frequently, or are training for long distances due to issues with the upper fit.
