These seem like great shoes for my naturally shaped feet. But the sizing is way off.

I ordered these and the Altra Provisioness both a half size up as was suggested on multiple websites. They are still a half size too small, so I will need to order a 9 or even a 9.5 for enough toe room in length on both styles. The packaging says you should have 1/2 inch of extra room in front of your toes and the end of the shoe. When I stand on my toes I can feel my toes hit the front of the shoe.

This style, the Intuition, has a very flexible mesh upper so you can move around your toes and there is more give than other shoes.

In every other shoe I try except some Keens my toes are too cramped in width. But Keens are not only getting narrower, they are also heavy and clunky: not optimal for running. So I am very happy to find these Altras because they have sufficient toe room. But I need to exchange for a size up so I have to wait to wear them for like a week :(

They feel like feather pillows on my feet: soft and lightweight. The top/back of the heels are low with a dip and soft with lots of padding which will deter blisters. They even come with two footbeds/insoles: one with arch support and without. I am using the inserts with support which I need as I pronate badly. These shoes appear to be well made and I anticipate them lasting a while.
