I love these shoes, I have owned the last 3 wave inspires that have come out. This one is the most recent I have worn. These type of shoes have erased my past pains from running, and hold up good. This shoe color and style is super cute and sharp. I wear an 8 in normal shoes, so I always order an 8 1/2 for running. I would say these shoes run about a half size too small. I feel like the 8 and 1/2 feels like an 8. I use them, and they are not uncomfortable, but I do feel just a wee crowded in them. But, if I had to do it again, I would still buy them. Good shoes!
