Adidas changed this style/fit. It's true to size, but the fit is different. The toe box is bigger, The mid-sole is wider. I would compare the fix to the Ascis Gel 5/6 Series. The upper on this shoe is softer (more cloth-like) than the previous model/series. These are not as stiff (that's what she said) as the previous model. Now, this shoe is much more of a casual walking show than a true trail runner. I am doubtful that it will hold up as long as previous models.
