I have been wearing ONLY Sauconys for over 5 years and I started out with Kinvara 2/3/4 then went to Breakthru for more cushion. I wanted to try Kinvara again because of the Everun sole. I was kind of disappointed with the 8's, not only did they fit smaller they seemed to roll to the outside of the shoe. I really loved these shoes but I may try the 9's later on.
