I love these shoes.  They are comfortable, there sole is very thin, yet not as thin as the vapor glove 2s.  The laces are stretchie and I did have to order a 10 1/2, I usually wear a 10 but lately Merrills have been running small.  I have the Vapor glove 2 in size 11.  I recommend if you can try on a pair in a store for size do it.
