I wear a womens size 8.5 or 9 in most athletic shoes.  I got these in size 7.5 and they fit very comfortably.  I got them for boxing.  My boxing instructor recommended adidas wrestling shoes, as I was wearing my running shoes, and because of the tread, they made boxing foot moves more difficult.  They feel as comfortable as socks and Im able to move quite well in them.  I thought I might have issues because I have excessive pronation and thought I might not get much foot support, but I haven't had any issues.  Im very happy with them and I like the subtle grey color with the bright shoe laces.
