Got a pair of stabil 5 a few weeks ago. Wore them straight away and they are the best shoes I have had out of the box. Comfortable straight away. I had hi-tec vipers before (OK, but quite a lot of blisters on sole of feet) and Prince NFS 3 before that (Blisters on top of big toe and wore out really quickly). I have small narrow feet and adidas shoes are always the best fit for me.

I like the stabils and have noticed that they suit people with wider feet. If there's anything wrong with them it's the flimsy insoles.
