Bought these for Crossfit type classes. These were bigger than expected and cushioning in the heel isn't quite matched up with the other side. Normally am told to size up 1/2 in this kind of shoe, as I did with my old pair of new balances, but doing so made this particular shoe too big. But the styling is nice. I ordered another size hoping they fit better. Ive been trying to find a pair to replace my other new balance shoes which have seen better days and these are my favorite so far that Ive tried on (havent field tested though). Hopefully the next size works out better.
