Shoe is not too small, but too narrow, and now seemingly much more cheaply made. I bought these shoes because I once had a pair of Asics that I loved; I attempted to buy as close to that pair as Asic makes. The only thing left of this product I once loved is the worst thing about it--a net covering that catches ever piece of seed and chaff out there and is impossible to clean. The shoes are now exceptionally narrow and ill fitting with a flat arch.  I wear a custom foot insert that fits in well, but due to no arch in shoe, insert collapses slightly with each step, causing a dreadful squeaking. I thought would disappear with "breaking in", but there was no improvement. I put the shoes away for a while after a sore foot resulted, and then tried again. Result a very painful large toe.  These shoes are a costly mistake I cannot even wear. I not only would never again buy this brand, it is very unlikely I would buy ANY shoe online, which is quite a shame as shoe stores are disappearing due to online competition they cannot undersell.
