I hated everything about these sneakers. They don't even look like running sneakers, more like those cheap goofy keds boat shoes with some melted wax over them. The fabric alone was a shiny bathing suit feel. Like it would wear out if it got hung up on anything. I'm a 71/2 B woman's shoe, but I got the 8.5 and it fit, my heel didn't come out in Running, but the toe is not round like a sneaker it goes to point, so there was space above that seemed excess, like I would trip up if I ran. Even if I went down a size, they still felt wrong for running. More of a boat shoe. I can't understand the great reviews. I did a side by side with my new balance, and they felt nothing alike. They're worth $30,the most, for $68 I could find  two $35 Asics, and interchange them. anything is better. I'm going to re-read all those reviews.
