I wear a size 8, and these fit true to size.

I am a casual runner.  I like to triathlon, but running is my least favorite event and I'm not exceptionally good.  But I tend go through running shoes about every 6 months.

I tend to overpronate on my left foot when I run; however, supinate on my right when I am standing (I know. . . I am super lop-sided).  I usually read reviews to search for the best running shoes that are currently on the market for these particular issues.  I'm not married to one particular brand of running shoes; I've worn Asics and Sauconys and New Balance in the past.  This is my first time trying Brooks.  This particular style (the Ghost 9) is great for providing stabilizing support while adding cushion to my step.  The shoes are lightweight and comfortable.  I enjoy them very much.

I also love bright colors.  I would have preferred green or orange, but the florescent pink is still very fun.
