I BELIEVE THESE SNEAKERS RUN SMALL.  I WANTED A 9 BUT ALTHOUGH THEY ARE A 9 THEY FIT TOO TIGHT.  SO IF YOUR AN 8.5 THEN ITS BEST TO GET A 9.  ITS BEST TO HAVE SOME ROOM.  ALL YOU HAVE TO PUT IS AN INSOLE IF YOU FEEL THEY ARE TOO BIG, BUT IF YOUR LIKE ME AND BUY A PAIR THATS TOO SMALL,  YOU CAN'T USE THEM AT ALL SO I AM SELLING THEM ON EBAY BECAUSE FOR SOME REASON THEY ARE NOT LETTING ANYONE JUST SELL THEIR STUFF HERE.  I'M ALSO SELLING THEM A LITTLE CHEAPER BUT THEY ARE BRAND NEW  WITH TAGS, WITH RECEIPT AND BOX.
