I hope I am typing this correctly, but as I am a size 9-9.5 in men's shoes, and running shoes, I realized that these Cross-Trainers are nearly an inch too large. I have submitted for an exchange to 8.5 from a size 9. They are comfortable and snug as-is, but I am familiar with big shoes and it is not a comfortable experience. Just a note to you if you are considering these. Lastly, I was unable to use them as I just received them, and will essentially, be returning them tomorrow morning. I will update on the new size accordingly.

Just used them today for the first time. For the first 30 minutes, they were very comfortable; I completed a HIIT workout successfully, and the shoes were very comfortable to workout in. However, it wasn't till after the workout that, I presumably think, I began to feel heat spots on the outer edges of my feet. It could be from expansion, or they were too tight, but it does not exclude their overall comfort on the heel, and arch support. I think that with a break-in period, they may feel better. In addition, I had returned the previous size 9 shoes and received a size 8.5, which is perfect. My toes are about half inch from the tip of the shoe. However, because I have a slightly wide forefoot, I think this may contribute to my heat spots. Namely, be cognizant of the size you choose: these are size 8.5(D), as were the size 9. I hope this helps!
