As per other reviewers suggestions, I went a full size larger on this shoe and it fit perfectly. I had been wondering what the difference was between my normal $80-100 running shoes (Nike, Saucony, New Balanc) and the $150 Hoka and Brooks running shoes were and if it was worth it, and it is so worth it!  These really make my feet feel happy. I don't have pain points like usual when I run or walk. I tried wearing them all day and my feet felt so good at the end of the day. Now its just hard to go back to normal shoes for work. I wish Brooks could make women's work shoes and booties as comfortable as these running shoes!

On Brooks website these shoes are listed as "neutral" but to me, they seemed to make my feet turn slightly inward. I was concerned at first that it might cause pain by the end of the day, but they must just be correcting my gait, because my ankles and feet felt great after wearing them.
