These were waaaaaay too big! It had arch support though, which was nice. But unfortunately the added arch support didn't make the shoes much more comfortable (though it helped). I thought whomever was saying these felt like you were walking on wood planks was a little dramatic. But they are VERY STIFF! I had an old pair of saucony and they had more flexibility to them. I don't know if they changed the way they made them or what? It is tough to buy shoes online. The color in person was a bit brighter (in the blue color). That wasn't to my liking in this particular case. I returned them. What a bummer! Because they are super cute.
