Great shoe
I have a narrow, low volume foot. This shoe fits perfectly, has nice cushion, and I like the 4mm drop. I like that the stack height is reasonable and I don't feel like I'm walking in high heels! I have been wearing Brooks Ghost, but this year they increased the stack height from 26mm to 36mm. I went back to Altras!
