Anyone know about these shoes and how they compare to the H Street in turns of fit and how substantial they are? Thanks.

I own the Irie and the H-Street. I prefer the Irie, it's a bit more substantial in the upper and since I have a wide foot it accomodates my foot significantly better than the H-Street.
Thanks. Does it feel heavier than the H Street and, if so, how much heavier? Also, does the forefoot have a different feel?

It doesn't feel a lot heavier (hardly noticeable), but it is a bit more spongy on landing than the H-Street. The forefoot is roomier in the Irie, yet there is no heel slippage whatsoever. I like the Irie a lot, even more so than the H-Street.
How are breathability(dont know if thats a word), and traction(this is were the H's kinda suck in my mind)?

H-Street's uppers are washcloth lite and breathable whereas the Irie is made of a solid material. The Irie, because it's softer, SEEMS to have slightly more traction than the H-Street's.
Thanks for the advice. Maybe I'll try the Irie. I'm still looking for a shoe that's a little more protective than the H Street, because running in them everyday is leaving my feet pretty sore. Thanks.
