Great shoe if you can get the right size. I normally wear 8.5, they were a tad too short and my second toe was hitting the shoe. I returned for a 9 and they are not the same color and are too big - sized like a real 9. I think the 8.5 sent to me are mis-sized which is maybe why people claim they run small. I haven't been able to get a correct size. Also, the 9s were a totally difference color, dark brown with very bright flouresent green which I did not want. The 8.5 were lighter and I liked those. These would be very comfortable with great arch support but I guess I'll have to go to the store.
